Dental impression material

Dental impression material is a substance used by dentists to create a precise mold of a patient's teeth and gums. This mold captures the details of the oral structure, allowing for accurate fabrications of dental restorations, such as crowns, dentures, or orthodontic devices. The material can be made from various substances, including flexible gels or rigid compounds, which set into a stable form after being applied. By taking impressions, dentists can ensure that dental work fits comfortably and functions properly, leading to better outcomes for patients' oral health.
