Abstract:: Transfer of the precise position of implants to a master cast is a prerequisite for accurate and passive fit of the superstructure. Implants lack the mobility of natural teeth and, therefore, inaccurate frameworks result in stress within the mechanical parts and the implant-bone interface. Various impression methods have been described to achieve accurate reproduction of the intra-oral relation of the implants. The aim of this experimental study was to compare three different impression materials (polyether, polyvinyl siloxane, hydrocolloid) with the Frialit(R)-2 system and with the indirect technique. In addition, the use of transfer caps (TCs) to improve transfer precision was tested with all three materials. All measurements were performed using a three-dimensional (3D) co-ordinate measuring machine that is capable of locating points in space and calculating the relative distortions as angles of tilt (rot-XY, rot-XZ, rot-YZ) and 3D displacement. The results suggest that addition-silicone (a-silicone) and polyether are the materials of choice for implant transfer procedures. The use of TCs resulted in a significantly reduced rotation in the XY-plane but did not improve the absolute 3D displacement. A-silicone with the use of TCs proved to be most precise. Comparison between polyether and polyvinyl siloxane showed significant differences in the XY-rotation and the 3D displacement in favour of the silicone. Because the mean distortions between the original model and the master casts were about 100 microm, absolutely precise fit may be unattainable owing to the physical properties of the materials. Further studies will have to evaluate the amount of tolerable stress at the implant-bone interface.
