Elastomeric impression materials: effect of bulk on accuracy.

Impression trays were fabricated providing 2, 4, and 6 mm spaces to determine the stability and accuracy of nine elastomeric impression materials on a simulated full crown preparation steel die. The interface space of 2 mm produced the most accurate impressions for all of the materials tested. All impression materials except one fell within the revised American Dental Association Specifications. The clinical-type tests, using castings on dies poured from these materials, corroborated the acceptance of those materials and techniques exhibiting the least dimensional change.

Pyrolysis gas chromatography of enzymes.

Pyrolysis gas chromatography (PGC) has been shown to be useful for differentiating enzymes. The enzymes alpha-chymotrypsin, lactate dehydrogenase, catalase, and urease were easily "fingerprinted" on a 1.8 m 0.5% Carbowax 20 M column. Also, in some cases, isoenzymes of lactate dehydrogenase could be distinguished. Based on the pyrolyses of the free aromatic amino acids, four major enzyme pyrolysis peaks were tentatively identified as organic compounds derived from tyrosine and tryptophan. The use of a nitrogen-selective detector in conjunction with the FID and measurement of peak retention times by computer on three different types of columns permitted confirmations of peak identity.
