“…These impression materials are hydrophilic and present adequate properties, such as good tear strength and quick elastic recovery, along with excellent accuracy and dimensional stability [5][6] . The different viscosities allow them to be used in three impression techniques: 1-step putty/light-body, 2-step putty/lightbody, and monophase [6][7][8] . Several factors affect the dimensional accuracy of elastomeric impression material molds, such as the type of impression material used and its adhesion to the tray, viscosity, hydrophilicity, thickness, by-product formation, the time spent during cast pouring, incomplete elastic recovery, and polymerization/thermal shrinkage [7][8] .…”
