cording to manufacturers, provide immediate dimensional stability upon completion of polymerization. The purpose of this investigation was to
evaluate the tensile bond strength of one impression material/adhesive system to two types of lightpolymerizing custom tray materials and compare
them to an autopolymerizing control group. Another variable considered in this investigation was
tray material surface treatment.
custom and stock trays.' Because of health concerns regarding monomer inhalation, other types
of custom tray materials are receiving more attention. In an effort to evaluate characteristics of an
alternative tray material, Hogans and Agar- completed an investigation concerning elastomer tray

Discussion
The light-polymerizing tray material, under the
conditions of this investigation, exhibited higher
impression material adhesive mean tensile bond
strengths than the autopolymerizing groups. The
Extoral material manufacturer does not recommend the use of Air Barrier Coating during light
polymerization, although the removal of the airinhibited unpolymerized surface layer using isopropyl alcohol is recommended.
The Extoral specimens on which the Air Barrier
Coating was used exhibited a nonsignificant decrease in bond strength compared to the specimens cleaned with isopropyl alcohol. Therefore,
theadditionai procedureof applying the Air Barrier
Coating to the Extoral material is unnecessary. The
Extoral material, with and without the Air Barrier
Coating, exhibited tensile bond strengths that were
significantly lower than those of the Triad groups
on which the coating was used during light polymerization. The use of an alcohol surface cleaning
treatment did not significantly improve the bond
strength with the Triad material. The addition of an
alcohol cleaning procedure during the preparation
of the Fastray specimens resulted in a nonsignificant increase in the adhesive tensile bond strength.
When using a custom tray and a stiff impression
material such as vinyKpoly siioxane), the force necessary to remove the impression from the oral cavity can be greatly increased by the presence of; (1)
large undercuts around pontics in existing prostheses; (2) long clinical crowns with open gingival
interproximal spaces; or (3) dental implant impres-

Conclusion
The results from this investigation suggest the
following conclusions:
1. The Triad tray material groups exhibited significantly greater impression material adhesive
mean tensile bond strengths than the Extoral
and Fastray groups.
2. The use of an alcohol surface-cleaning treatment resulted in a nonsignificant increase in the
impression material adhesive mean tensile bond
strength for both the Triad and Fastray resins.
3. The use of Air Barrier Coating with the Extorai
resin resulted in a nonsignificant decrease in the
impression material adhesive mean tensile bond
strength.
