Adhesive properties of several impression material systems: Part II.

The effect of saliva contamination on the tensile adhesive bond strengths of four impression adhesive systems, (1) polysulfide, (2) polyether, (3) polyvinylsiloxane, and (4) condensation silicone impression adhesive, was studied. Standard acrylic resin tray samples of 1-inch square surface were made. Tray surfaces were contaminated with saliva either before or after the application of tray adhesives. Tensile tests were performed with a Universal Load testing machine. The tensile adhesive bond strengths of contaminated tray surface and contaminated adhesive were compared with a group of control. Contamination of all impression adhesives resulted in significantly lower bond strength. Except for the polyvinylsiloxane and polysulfide impression adhesive systems, saliva contamination of tray material significantly decreased adhesive bond strengths. Impression trays should be tried in the mouth, rinsed, and dried before adhesive is applied.

The effect of oxidation heat treatment of porcelain bond strength in selected base metal alloys.

Base metal alloys have been widely used for fixed partial dentures in the past decade. The oxidation heat treatment (degassing) of these alloys is a controversial step to prepare the metal surface for bonding porcelain. This study evaluated the effect of oxidation heat treatment on the porcelain bond strength of base metal alloys and investigated composition changes that may have occurred during this process.

Analysis of Variance

Adhesive properties of several impression material systems: Part I.

The tensile adhesive bond strength of five impression adhesive systems was studied: polysulfide, polyether, polyvinylsiloxane, condensation silicone impression, and polyvinylsiloxane putty adhesive systems. Results showed no significant difference in adhesive bond strength to autopolymerizing acrylic resin between the former four impression materials studied. Polyether and medium-viscosity polyvinylsiloxane demonstrated significantly higher adhesive bond strength to polystyrene than either polysulfide or condensation silicone. The medium-viscosity polyvinylsiloxane impression material showed significantly higher adhesive bond strength to polystyrene than autopolymerizing acrylic resin whereas polysulfide and condensation silicone impression materials adhered significantly better to autopolymerizing acrylic resin than polystyrene. The polyvinylsiloxane putty did not adhere to its impression adhesive. Variation of the speed of tensile testing between 5 to 20 inches per minutes did not affect the adhesive bond strength of a polysulfide impression material.
