Polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) is a high-precision elastomeric impression material widely used in dentistry for its excellent dimensional stability, accuracy, and ease of use. It is particularly valued for its ability to capture fine details and its resistance to tearing, making it ideal for creating detailed dental molds.

Dimensional stability refers to the ability of a material or structure to maintain its dimensions when subjected to environmental changes such as temperature, humidity, or mechanical stress. This property is crucial in applications where precision and reliability are essential, as dimensional changes can lead to functional failures or aesthetic issues.

Dimensional Stability

Accuracy refers to the degree of closeness between a measurement or prediction and the true or accepted value. It is a crucial metric in evaluating the performance of models, systems, or instruments, often influencing decision-making processes across various fields.
