Correct answer: C. Too rapid polymerization

  • A. Improper application of pressure during impression making
  • B. Air incorporated during mixing
  • C. Too rapid polymerization
  • D. Presence of moisture in impression area

Explanation

If an impression material polymerizes too rapidly, it cannot flow and adapt smoothly to the oral tissues, producing a rough or irregular surface. Air incorporation mainly produces localized voids or bubbles rather than a uniformly rough surface.
