[Addition cross-linked silicone impression materials]. 1979

D Welker, and M Mehner

The principle of the polyreactions "polymerization", "polycondensation" and "polyaddition" is explained and described in detail for silicone impression materials. In the light of laboratory findings (quasi-viscosity, plasto-elasticity, dimensional and weight behaviour), three alginate materials, one condensation cross-linked silicone material, two addition cross-linked silicone materials and one polyether material are compared and evaluated with regard to their clinic-relevant properties.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002621	Chemistry	A basic science concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of matter; and the reactions that occur between substances and the associated energy exchange.
D003760	Dental Impression Materials	Substances used to create an impression, or negative reproduction, of the teeth and dental arches. These materials include dental plasters and cements, metallic oxide pastes, silicone base materials, or elastomeric materials.

D012826	Silicone Elastomers	Polymers of silicone that are formed by crosslinking and treatment with amorphous silica to increase strength. They have properties similar to vulcanized natural rubber, in that they stretch under tension, retract rapidly, and fully recover to their original dimensions upon release. They are used in the encapsulation of surgical membranes and implants.	Elastomers, Silicone,Rubber Silicone,Silicone Rubber,Elastosil,Microfil,SE-30,Elastosils,Microfils,SE 30,SE30,Silicone Elastomer
