Aim: Evaluate the dimensional accuracy of stone casts of a partially edentulous mandibular arch made by two impression techniques (1-step putty/light-body and 2-step putty/light-body) using addition and condensation silicones. Methods: A partially edentulous steel stainless cast with four markings on teeth 33, 37, 43, and 47 was used to obtain the impressions. The transverse (33-43 and 37-47) and anteroposterior (33-37 and 43-47) distances were measured by measuring microscope (30x magnification; 0.5μm accuracy). For the 1-step putty/light-body technique, both viscosities of the impression materials were handled together. For the 2-step putty/light-body technique, the impression materials of different viscosities were handled separately and a polypropylene spacer (2 mm thick) was used to create a relief. The same distances were measured om stone casts (n = 5). The values were submitted to normality test (Kolmogorov-Smirnov) and analyzed statistically by three-way ANOVA and Tukey’s (5%). Results: All distances showed shrinkage (negative linear changes). The addition silicones showed better accuracy than condensation silicones (p 0.05). The edentulous zone (43-47) presented worst dimensional accuracy results. Conclusions: The accuracy of the castsis more related to the impression material than impression technique.

Effect of different impression techniques and elastomeric impression materials on the dimensional accuracy of partially edentulous mandibular arch
