Recently, artificial organs have been made impressive progress in the medical profession. The same is true of the dental profession, where diverse dental implant materials, centered on ceramics, have been designed. These have been highly rated by clinicians for their stability and resistance to occlusional force.
The stability of these implants, however, depends greatly on how well the occlusional forces of the structures on the implants and plaques are controlled. The first step for setting up the upper structures is to obtain precise impressions.This article presents a rational method for obtaining impressions,centered on agar/alginate composites, and introduces a newly developed bioceramic material characterized by precision and firmness for dental implantation. We will also discuss preparation for this material and measured values for its precision and strength.
