Two methods for controlling the working time of an addition-type silicone impression material are presented. The progress of the polymerization reaction of this modified system was studied using viscosity and a new "compression set" technique. The physical properties are presented and compared to those typical of condensation silicones, and a method of clinical use is suggested.
