Which type of impression material should not come into contact with latex gloves?

Polyvinyl Siloxane (PVS) is the correct choice as it is known to have compatibility issues with latex. When PVS comes into contact with latex, it can inhibit the setting reaction of the material due to the presence of sulfur in latex gloves. This can lead to distortion of the impression or an incomplete casting, resulting in an inaccurate representation of the mouth or dental structures.

Understanding the behavior of various impression materials in relation to different substances is crucial for ensuring the integrity and accuracy of dental impressions. While other impression materials might have different handling and compatibility characteristics, PVS specifically is affected negatively by the presence of latex gloves, making it imperative to avoid any contact.
