What type of adhesive is specifically used with silicone impressions?

The use of a Sol adhesive with silicone impressions is particularly well-suited because silicone materials, which are used in impression making, rely on a specific bonding agent to enhance adhesion during the impression process. Sol adhesive is designed to create a strong bond that accommodates the flexibility and properties of silicone, allowing for precise detail capturing while avoiding any interference during the setting of the impression.

Rubber base adhesive is typically used with rubber base impressions, VPS adhesive is formulated for vinyl polysiloxane impressions, and latex adhesive is generally not compatible with silicone due to potential incompatibility issues. This understanding emphasizes the importance of selecting the correct adhesive tailored to the specific material being used in dental applications, ensuring optimal results and accuracy in dental impressions.
