Abstract


Purpose: The purpose of the study is to compare the compression resistance of different interocclusal recording materials. Background: Jaw relation records are a fundamental and crucial component of providing accurate, high-quality fixed restorations. Jaw relations are classified as orientation, vertical and horizontal relations. Orientation relations establish the references in the cranium. Vertical relations establish the amount
of jaw separation allowable of dentures. Horizontal relations establish the front to back and side to side relationships of one jaw to the other both as extreme border line movement and functional movement. Materials and Methods: Four types of interocclusal recording media were used in the study. Three were addition silicones (Imprint Bite-GroupA, Virtual Refill-Group B, Jet Bite-Group C), and one a polyether material
(Impregnum-Group D). A total of 80 samples were fabricated. The 20 samples of each group were further subdivided into four subgroups of five samples each. Each of the test samples was loaded on a universal testing machine and subjected to a constant compressive force of 25 Newton for a duration of 1 min. Statistical Analysis: Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 21.0. Results: The results were
subjected to a statistical analysis using a one-way analysis of variance for compression distances between interocclusal recording materials. Conclusion: It was concluded that Virtual Refill polyvinylsiloxane bite registration material showed greater resistance to compression than the other interocclusal recording materials in the 2, 5, 10, and 20 mm thickness groups.
