title: A study on the impression materials using for the mannequin practice.
abstract: The mannequin exercises which are practiced in clinical exercises of dental colleges are getting more important these days. It is necessary to compare the difference between the efficiency of a mannequin and a living body. When making a partial denture using the simulation model, it is very important to know what kind of impression materials you are able to use or the accuracy of those impression materials. A study on a simulation model is used for making a partial denture. Choosing some sort of impression materials and treatment positions have the possibility to exert influence on impression taking through the process from impression taking to model making. At first, to find the impression materials which are able to take the impression of simulation model's simulate mucous membrane, choose nine impression materials and examined them. Then, examine the effective relationship between the impression taking and the mannequin's head and back position. Establish a mannequin's head and back inclination from four positions. Cut the acquired four models at the same location and examine them. The following results were obtained. 1. Of the impression materials used, with the exception of Flexicon and Rapid, there was no adhesiveness observed with the artificial mucosa. In addition, in the case of Exaflex Injection, Regular and Putty, there were noninduration sections among the sections that contacted with the artificial mucosa. 2. Regarding the effect of the bodily position, changes in the impression were observed for the upper jaw in the case of the median sagittal section C and the lateral section S. This was particularly frequent on the palate in the molar region.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
