Facial moulage: the effect of a retarder on compressive strength and working and setting times of irreversible hydrocolloid impression material

A Self-Disinfecting Irreversible Hydrocolloid Impression Material Mixed with Chlorhexidine Solution

“…Setting time was tested according to the method introduced by Lemon et al 21 The impression material was mixed for 60 seconds and syringed on the surface of a flat glass slab. Sixty seconds after mixing, the flat end of a polished poly (methyl methacrylate) rod measuring 6 mm in diameter and 10 cm in length was placed in contact with the exposed surface of the material and then immediately withdrawn.…”

Prosthetic Rehabilitation of an Orbital Defect: A Case Report

“…Various materials, including impression compound, plaster of Paris, hydrocolloids and elastomeric impression materials have been used in making facial impressions [8][9][10][11][12]. Irreversible hydrocolloid was used to make the facial impression for this patient because it is static, easy to manipulate, fast setting, non irritant, elastic with reasonable dimensional accuracy and detail reproduction.…”

Immediate facial rehabilitation in cancer patients using CAD–CAM and rapid prototyping technology: a pilot study

“…Moreover, implants have a major positive impact on patients as they allow patients to function in society, confident that their defects are less noticeable. Advances in the past decade in laser scanning, CAD/CAM, and rapid prototyping technologies in the construction of facial prostheses have been accompanied by studies confirming their significant advantages as well as those of digital techniques [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”
