Elastic impression materials are essential for high-precision dental work, such as the fabrication of crowns, bridges, and partial dentures. They are generally classified into two main groups: :
are the gold standard for precision due to their excellent dimensional stability and ease of use. Download MATÉRIAUX EMPREINTE ÉLASTIQUES pdf
: The most common material for study models. It sets via a chemical reaction and cannot be returned to a liquid state once set. Synthetic Elastomers : such as the fabrication of crowns
