Methods to improve detail reproduction of elastic impression materials [ 2014 - 2016 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr David Joo (Principal investigator)

Brief description If a dental prosthesis is to fit precisely in the mouth, an accurate impression must be taken of the teeth and surrounding tissues. This research aims to evaluate variable surface conditions which may be taken into consideration to achieve an accurate impression, such as moisture, temperature, and the presence of contaminants. Although any distortions as a result of material interactions would be limited to the surface interface, inaccuracies here may ultimately compromise treatment success.
