Polyethers represent imprinting materials largely used on the market due to their precision in reproducing the prosthetic field. The present study aims at evaluating the linear dimensional variations of the models of dental stone following imprinting with polyethers by the technique of monophasic impression. The obtained results show no significant dimensional differences between the models of dental stone gypsum moulded 24 hours or 7 days after imprinting. The conclusion to be drawn is that the imprinting materials containing polyethers, applied by the monophasic technique, permit realization of high-precision models even 7 days after imprinting.
