– In order to obtain a replica technique suitable for a complete or segments of a dental arch two different impression materials were combined with two epoxy resin model materials. The models were examined and photographed in an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope. No systematic differences were found between the used combinations of materials except a tendency towards greater contraction of one of the model materials. The A‐silicone impression materials combined with one of the epoxy resin material seemed to be the easiest to handle and to give the best models.
