Abstract

An interocclusal record is a precise recording of a maxillo-mandibular position. Interocclusal recording materials are used to record the patient's maxillomandibular relationship in correct position. The dimensional stability of interocclusal recording materials is of utmost importance. But several materials are available commercially. Various studies have shown controversy over interocclusal recording material of choice.

The study was conducted to evaluate and compare the dimensional stability of four commonly used interocclusal recording materials after one hour.

Poly vinyl siloxane, polyether, zinc oxide eugenol and eugenol free zinc oxide were poured on a steel die of internal diameter of 3cm and the dimensional stability was measured using travelling microscope after 1hour and the data obtained were statistically analyzed.

Eugenol free zinc oxide proved to be dimensionally stable with mean values of 2.487 after 1hour of time interval which was followed by polyether, polyvinyl siloxane and zinc oxide eugenol.

Eugenol-free zinc-oxide paste was the most dimensionally stable interocclusal recording material as compared to polyether, polyvinyl siloxane and zinc oxide eugenol exhibiting no statistically significant difference between die scribes and those of the samples.
