"Dental impressions play a key role in clinical practice, and it is crucial to know the impact of disinfection or sterilization on it. The success of oral rehabilitation depends on the accuracy and reproducibility of the oral impressions [1,2,3]. The addition silicones and polyethers tend to be used most frequently for its physical and mechanical properties, such as dimensional stability [1,4,5]."
