Evaluating Cost-effectiveness and Mixing Efficacy for Elastomeric and Temporary Restorative Material Using Two Mixing Tips: A SEM-EDS Analysis

The present study would help clinicians make a better choice of selecting the mixing tips when it comes to function as well as cost. The new T-mixer tips are proven to provide a better solution compared to helical tips, which not only would save the clinicians' cost of impression materials and interim restorative materials but also render the same homogeneity as that of the helical tips. The electron microscopic analysis provided a better insight into the homogeneity and hence the mixing efficacy of the samples. The detail reproduction and surface roughness were some additional parameters that weren't a part of the original study model. They were included for the addition of credibility to the conducted study and provided adjunctive results to those obtained by SEM and EDAX analysis.
