The ranking of tear strength from the lowest to highest of all impression materials generally is as follows_______________?

Correct answer: A. Hydrocolloids, silicones, polyether, polysulfide

  • A. Hydrocolloids, silicones, polyether, polysulfide
  • B. Silicones, hydrocolloids, polyether, polysulfide
  • C. Polysulfide, hydrocolloids, silicones, polyether
  • D. Hydrocolloids, polyether, silicones, polysulfide

Explanation

Hydrocolloids have the weakest tear resistance, while polysulfide has the greatest; silicones and polyether lie between them. Thus the general sequence is hydrocolloids, silicones, polyether, then polysulfide.
