Evaluation of Dimensional Change in Different Elastomeric Impression Materials Used in Implants: An Original Research

Aim: The study's objective was to assess the dimensional accuracy of hybrid polyether and polyvinyl siloxane materials for implant impressions.

Materials and methods: Nine groups were created from 45 samples of various building materials and construction techniques from the study. Five samples were tested, and 45 impressions were recorded.

Results: The hybrid non-splinted technique has improved implant site replication, accuracy, and low interimplant distance alterations.

Conclusion: The finest possible reproduction of implant sites on the master cast was made feasible by the use of an open, non-splinted method and a hybrid polyvinyl siloxane-polyether impression material.
