The effect of mixing method on void formation in elastomeric impression materials.
This study compared an automixed elastomer with five hand-mixed elastomeric impression materials by counting the number of voids at a predetermined site using 6 X magnification. Although no samples were free of voids, automixing produced substantially fewer voids than hand mixing.
