Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a method for preparing a dental impression which comprises applying a dental impression material to a tooth of which an impression is to be taken, curing the material and thereafter removing the resulting impression from the tooth, said dental impression material being a mixture of A. a diorganopolysiloxane containing terminal triorganosiloxy groups in which at least one vinyl group is present in each of the triorganosiloxy groups, B. an organopolysiloxane having at least three Si-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule, C. a catalyst capable of promoting the addition of Si-bonded hydrogen to vinyl groups at room temperature and, if desired, D. additives such as fillers, pigments, flavoring substances and plasticizers.
