Data on dental bite materials with stability and displacement under load

Abstract

It is of interest to document the accuracy, time dependent dimensional stability and displacement to load for 5 types of inter-occlusal recording materials. We used cad bite paste, putty, lab putty, pattern resin and poly tray acrylic material in this study. A total of 25 samples were fabricated to evaluate the accuracy and dimensional stability. The amount of displacement was calculated by applying displacing force on the bite registration materials till they fractured using Instron 3000 UTS machine. Statistical analysis of the data shows that CAD bite paste has the maximum amount of accuracy and dimensional stability whereas pattern resin showed the least amount of displacement to applied force. Thus, we report that CAD bite registration material displayed best results in terms of accuracy and dimensional stability and moderate results in terms of displacement to force.
