Abstract:
Light body cured and putty cured silicone impression materials were tested for tensile strength on metallic surfaces. The effect of roughened surface was compared to the effect of tray adhesives. The bonding strength of light body cured materials appeared to be twice as high than that of putty cured materials. Roughening of the surface resulted in an improved adhesion, but the values of tray adhesives were not matched. The highest tensile forces were obtained using those tray adhesives recommended by the manufacturer.
