VINYL POLYETHER SILOXANE : REVOLUTIONIZING PRECISION IN ELASTOMERIC IMPRESSIONS

A precise impression is crucial for ensuring a perfect fit of indirect restorations. However, for many clinicians, obtaining an accurate impression for fixed prostheses remains one of the most challenging aspects of restorative dentistry, despite advances in elastomeric materials. The effectiveness of newly developed elastomeric polymer Vinyl Polyether Siloxane, which combines the properties of polyether and polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) elastomers, has been a subject of interest in recent studies. This review aims to elucidate the material properties of vinyl polyether siloxane through a comprehensive analysis of current scientific literature.
