2. Bite registration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bite_registration

   A dental impression of a section of teeth which records the bite, which can be used to replicate how the teeth bite together. Bite registration is a technique carried out in dental procedures, where an impression is taken of the teeth while biting together, to capture the way they meet together in a bite.

3. Polyvinyl siloxane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_siloxane

   Polyvinyl siloxane (PVS), also called poly-vinyl siloxane, vinyl polysiloxane (VPS), or vinylpolysiloxane, is an addition-reaction silicone elastomer (an addition silicone). It is a viscous liquid that cures (solidifies) quickly into a rubber-like solid, taking the shape of whatever surface it was lying against while curing.

4. Siloxane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siloxane

   Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, or D 5, a cyclic siloxane. The word siloxane is derived from the words silicon, oxygen, and alkane. In some cases, siloxane materials are composed of several different types of siloxane groups; these are labeled according to the number of Si−O bonds: M-units: (CH 3) 3 SiO 0.5, D-units: (CH 3) 2 SiO, T-units: (CH ...

   Moreover, compared to other materials, it possesses superior optical properties, allowing for minimal background and autofluorescence during fluorescent imaging. [ 25 ] In biomedical (or biological) microelectromechanical systems (bio-MEMS), soft lithography is used extensively for microfluidics in both organic and inorganic contexts.

6. Silicone - Wikipedia

   The materials can be cyclic or polymeric. By varying the −Si−O− chain lengths, side groups, and crosslinking, silicones can be synthesized with a wide variety of properties and compositions. They can vary in consistency from liquid to gel to rubber to hard plastic. The most common siloxane is linear polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), a silicone ...

7. Intraoral scanner - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraoral_scanner

   The most common material used for traditional impressions is polyvinyl siloxane, however this material has a poor smell and odour which makes it not favourable for patient or dentist alike. [2] Intraoral scanners have been introduced into dentistry to make the impression process less uncomfortable to the patient. [2]
