Abstract

Dental impression is a source of cross infection and transmission of diseases. Conventional disinfection may lead to a change in physical properties. Self-disinfectant irreversible hydrocolloid is an alternative to the disinfection and can prevent microbial cross contamination. The present study evaluates the physical properties of irreversible hydrocolloid impression material incorporated with 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% w/w silver nanoparticles (AgZrPO4, Sunshine Factory Co., Ltd, China). The working time and detail reproduction were tested according to ISO 21563:2013 with some modification. The result showed that AgZrPO4 did not significantly affect the physical properties of the impression material. Based on this in vitro study, AgZrPO4 can be added to the impression material for its antimicrobial benefit without significant changes in the physical properties of the material.
