Evaluation of a rubber-base impression material.
A laboratory experiment has been described that utilized materials found in most dental offices and that was designed to evaluate a distinctly different polysulfide impression material. In this experiment the largest duplicating errors were produced with use of the stock tray and single-mix technique recommended by the manufacturer. This study therefore supports the use of the custom tray and double-mix technique for dental duplication procedures utilizing Neo-Plex impression material. Further investigation is necessary before stock trays and single-mix techniques can be recommended for routine use in fixed prosthodontics.
