iii. Sulphuriv. PLGA Choose the correct option
A. i and iiB.  i,ii, and iv
C. i and iv                                                   D.  i and iii

Ans.- A. i and ii

Plastic/rubber:  It is a material for lifting the fine detail of Tool Marks. A small part of rubber or plastic is softened by pressing it into the fingers and then applied to the surface. It has to be carefully pressed as it has the potential get damage by outer pressure.

Dental casting material: This also gives good details of tool marks.

Plaster of Paris:  This material is used when the imprint is of large size. The Plaster of Paris is partially calcium sulfate (CaSO4)2 and partially 1/2 H2O. 

Metal casting: The cast of tool mark can also be made by metal casting.

Cellulose acetate: Tool marks can also lifted by cellulose acetate dissolved in acetone.
