Biological Considerations in Use of Dental Impression Materials:A Review Article

Background: The science of dental impression materials must be necessity encompass a knowledge and appreciation of certain biological consideration that are associated with the selection and use of materials designed for the oral cavity. The minute amounts of components that leach out of impression materials are most unlikely to cause toxic reactions, locally or systemically. Reliable analysis data is therefore necessary to clarify the varied issues of safety and frequency of adverse reactions normally medicine, together with dentistry treatment.

Method: A literature review was done to analyse the biological considerations of dental impression materials and its hazards.

Conclusion: Many potential problems exist, but few documented adverse reactions have been published. It is expected that one requirement will be for clinicians and manufacturers to report biological side effects associated with use of the materials to certifying bodies or health authorities. Reliable research information using robust methodology is therefore required to clarify the varied questions of safety and frequency of adverse reactions in general dentistry, including Prosthodontic treatment.
