[Radiosterilization of impressions].

J Setz, U Benzing

    Deutsche Zahnarztliche Zeitschrift
    |February 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Gamma ray sterilization did not significantly alter the dimensional stability or mechanical properties of addition-silicone impression materials. These dental materials remain clinically suitable after this sterilization method.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental Materials Science
    • Biomaterials Engineering
    • Sterilization Technologies

    Context:

    • Addition-silicone impression materials are widely used in dentistry.
    • Sterilization is crucial for infection control in dental practices.
    • Gamma irradiation is a common sterilization method for medical devices.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the effects of gamma ray sterilization on the dimensional stability of addition-silicone impression materials.
    • To assess the impact of gamma ray sterilization on the mechanical properties of addition-silicone impression materials.
    • To determine the clinical suitability of addition-silicone impression materials post-sterilization.

    Summary:

    • Dimensional stability and mechanical properties of addition-silicone impression materials were tested after gamma ray sterilization.
    • No clinically relevant changes were observed in the tested properties compared to non-sterilized control materials.

    Impact:

    • Gamma ray sterilization appears to be a safe and effective method for sterilizing addition-silicone impression materials.
    • The findings support the continued use of gamma-sterilized addition-silicone materials in clinical dental applications.
    • This research provides valuable data for dental professionals and manufacturers regarding material integrity after sterilization.
