PRELIMINARY STUDY REGARDING DIMENSIONAL MODIFICATIONS OF C-SILICONES AFTER DECONTAMINATION
Abstract:
Decontaminating impressions in dental prosthetics by immersion or atomizing lately tends to
become a fundamental step in the technological process of manufacturing fixed or removable prosthetic
restorations. Nevertheless, the time allotted for every impression to be disinfected depends on two
distinct factors: the antimicrobial capacity of the chemical substance and its likelihood to alter the
physical, chemical and biological factors of the material used for creating the impression. Thereby, this
article presents a preliminary study regarding the dimensional modifications that c-silicones of mediumfluid
consistency could sustain after their immersion in disinfection substances such as glutaraldehyde,
peracetic acid or sodium hypochlorite.
