Introduction: There are several materials used to make the final impression, there is a predilection toward some materials by dentists, that are polyvinyl siloxanes (silicone by addition), polyeter and polysulfide. Objective: this study aimed to measure the level of knowledge for final impression materials in dental restoration by dental graduates in the period of 2017-2018. Matherials and methods. This study presents a descriptive cross-sectional design in a quantitative approach. Results.
