Pros/Cons of elastic impression material:
Irreversible Hydrocolloid
P- Rapid set, low cost
C- Poor Accuracy and surface detail
Pros/Cons of elastic impression material:
Reversible Hydrocolloid
P- Hydrophilic, long working time, low cost, no custom tray required
C- Low tear resistance, low stability
Pros/Cons of elastic impression material:
Polysulfide Polymer
P- High tear strength
C- Messy, unpleasant odor, long setting time, fair stability
Pros/Cons of elastic impression material:
Addition Silicone
P- Dimensional stability, pleasant to use, short setting time
C- Hydrophobic, poor wetting, some release H2
Pros/Cons of elastic impression material:

Compare Condensation Silicone Rubber vs. Addition Silicone
Condensation Silicone Rubber: Pros- clean, pleasant for patient, highly elastic; Cons- Inaccurate (shrinkage), hydrophobic
Addition Silicone- Pros- More accurate (less shrinkage); Cons- Expensive, tough to remove from undercuts, bubbles possible
This impression material cures by condensation of terminal mercaptan groups catalyzes by lead peroxide or other catalysts
Polysulfide
This impression material cures by condensation of terminal hydroxyl groups by orthoalkylsilicates to form polymer and alcohol
