An Study to Evaluate and Compare the Flow Property of Different Commercially Available Zinc Oxide Eugenol Impression Materials.

Introduction: Impression making is one of the most important steps in prosthodontic rehabilitation of edentulous patients. Zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) impression paste is the most commonly used material for complete denture wash impression due to its cost-effectiveness and ease of manipulation, while providing the advantage of ability to record fine minute tissue details. Rheological property like flow is a critical factor influencing the success of any impression material, especially in intraoral conditions.
