Background and Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the tensile bond strength of three commercially available elastomeric impression materials to auto – polymerizing methyl methacrylate resin material, using manufacturer recommended adhesive and two different commercially available universal tray adhesives. Methods: Three different elastomeric impression materials, viz. two addition silicone and one condensation silicone of putty viscosity were used in the study. Three paint on tray adhesives, that is, one manufacturer recommended tray adhesive and two universal tray adhesives were used. A total of 180 flat 10×10×10 mm³ specimens, were made from the auto–polymerizing methyl methacrylate custom tray material. They were divided into 3 groups of 30 each. Each group was further divided into following 3 subgroups of 10 each. A thin layer of tray adhesive was coated and dried. Elastomers were mixed according to manufacturer’s instructions and applied between the two acrylic plates maintaining a gap of 2mm. The tensile bond tests were conducted after 24 hours for each specimen at a crosshead speed of 5 mm/min until adhesion failure occurred. The bond strength was calculated as the maximum force at failure divided by the surface area of each plate. The data was first analyzed with ANOVA followed by Post hoc Tukey HSD comparison test. Results: In present study, for all impression materials tested, results obtained were as follows: TBS for Group 1 ranged from 0.242–1.619; Group 2 ranged from 0.221–1.272 and Group 3 ranged from 0.049–0.827 N/cm². All results were statistically significant with p<0.05. Conclusions: This study showed that, the use of manufacturer recommended tray adhesive provides significantly higher bond strength values than those obtained with the universal tray adhesive tested.
