[Comparative material testing of dental impression and articulation plasters according to German Industrial Standard DIN 13911].
The purpose of the present investigation was a comparison of three special articulation plasters and three impression plasters. As DIN 13911 does not refer to articulation plasters, the inspection as well as the testing of pouring time, setting time, setting expansion and compressive strength using standard and manufacturer's consistence as carried out conforming to the guidelines for impression plasters. None of the tested plasters could meet the requirements of inspection in all points. Considering the physical parameters all plasters are up to standard, while Alpa quickstone and Arti-Plaster exhibited very low expansion and high compressive strength values. Although the compressive strength standard needs redefining, the value of a standardized testing technique for dental plasters is evident.
