Abstract
Three experimental batches of plaster elaborated from a Moroccan gypsum were characterized by conductimetry, dimensional variations measurements during setting and mechanical tests. Comparison with commercial dental plasters are undertaken to check whether these experimental materials possess good characteristics for dentistry applications.
