Comparative Evaluation of Wettability at Various Stages of Working Time for Light Body and Medium Body Consistencies of Three Elastomeric Impression Materials
Abstract:Aim:
The main purpose of this study was to compare the wettability of light and medium body consistencies of three different elastomeric impression materials during their working time.
Materials and Methods:
Vinylpolysiloxane, polyether, and vinylsiloxanether light body and medium body impression materials were used to fabricate the test samples. The contact angles of the impression materials were determined at 30
