A STUDY ON PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF INTEROCCLUSAL RECORDING MATERIALS

The purpose of this study was to compare the dimensional stability, compression resistance, elastic recovery and surface hardness of elastomeric interocclusal recording materials. Five commonly used elastomeric interocclusal recording materials(Ramitec, Regisil, Blue-Mousse, Stat-Br, Coltoflax) were selected for this study. According to ADA specification No. 19, two types of specimen were fabricated. Cylinder type specimens were used to test compression resistance and elastic recovery and plate type specimens were used to evaluate dimensional stability and surface hardness. Paired t-test was applied to detect significance among the occlusal registration materials. The obtained results were as follows: 1. There were statistical difference in dimensional stability between the elastic interocclusal recording materials. The dimensional stability of silicone was higher than that of polyether tested(p<0.05). 2. Coltoflax was significantly less resistance to compression than the other elastic interocclusal recording materials(p<0.001). 3. The elastic recovery capacity of Blu-Mousse and Stat-Br is better than that of Coltoflax (p<0.01). 4. The surface hardness of Coltoflax was lower than that of Blu-Mousse and Stat-Br(p<0.05). 5. The percentage dimensional change of alll materials was acceptable according to the limid of 0.5% suggeted by ADA specificatin No. 19.
