[Measurement of the pressure in dental casting].
The tests showed that the pressure exerted on the tooth stump and the surrounding tissue is determined by the consistency of the impression material, the amount escaping from the impression tray, the adaptation pressure and adaptation speed. The original consistency of the impression material without exposure to a catalyst is an especially important factor. If the material has a flow limit (e.g. Optosil with or without catalyst) it is exerting pressure in any case and this pressure continues even after setting. Impression materials without flow limit (e.g. Silaplast without catalyst) produce practically no pressure. Only by the activity of the catalyst a flow limit develops and thus pressure is produced.
