Elasticity properties of tissue conditioning material

ABSTRACT

A selected type of a tissue conditioning materials was subjected to compressive stresses to determine its elastic properties at different time intervals extending from the immediate stage after gelation, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours, respectively. Significant high elastic properties were revealed immediately after gelation and during the first and second days. Reduction in these properties were found in the third day and were almost diminished in the fourth day. It was concluded that a tissue conditioning material was found to remain elastic only for a restricted period of time [two days], during which its maximum cushioning effect was highly effective. Another tissue conditioning material is to be recommended for relining after the second day for complete conditioning of unhealthy tissue
