The impression with the least dimensional change upon disinfection is_______________?

Correct answer: A. Addition poly silicone

  • A. Addition poly silicone
  • B. Agar-agar
  • C. Polysulphide
  • D. Polyether

Explanation

Addition silicone has excellent dimensional stability because it produces no volatile alcohol by-product during setting. Condensation silicone releases alcohol and therefore shows greater shrinkage, especially if pouring is delayed.
