Alginates - Not Good for Crown and Bridges
- Low ___ strength
- Not ___ stable
- Less ___
- Won’t__ __
- ___ tray
The reasons are that
They have a low tear strength.
Very small film
When this film goes inside the sulcus and you remove it, almost always that small film is going to stay in the sulcus
If you are not aware of that, the patient can have some sort of gingivitis or abscess
When you take impression, Make sure to check and see that there is no material inside the sulcus
This is especially for the final product.

All of the brands are pretty much the same
Important thing for different brands is not to mix the brand cylinders
Use the cylinder for the brand that you are using
It will give you the right water/powder ratio
If not mix will be too runny or too grainy
On the right identic: 100 hr stability. (How soon you need to pour the cast)
That is true under special conditions
But it is very useful for Dentist iPL: That means Dentist who have a lab that is not inside the office
Take impression…Take iphone and call the lab to pick up the impression

Dustless:When you shake the container, the heavy product in the alginate goes to the bottom. So you can mix it and get a good quality of powder. Dustless means that when you open it the powder wont come at your face
Smaller Cans
Individual pouch. You can use part B as the water dispenser. Don’t need to worry about finding the right cylinder to measure the water
Mix: its one color. As it starts setting, it changes colors. It tells you that its ready to remove from the mouth
Accugel: ___ than the regular alginate. Used for some final impression in RP or complete dentures. Has better quality than regular alginate. Comes with a special tray to use with ___s patient. Comes with a syringe. You need someone to help you. Someone prepare the synringe material. Someone prepare the tray material.
This is the syringe. Place the material in there. White piece can be ___ if yyou are doing impression in the sulcus. If doing impression o ____ suface, use this piece so the material will go ___

Remember the K sulfate in contact with the stone will start the mix
Regular Set:
To make it faster setting, we place a little bit of warm water. It will speed the reaction is if its a regular set
If its a fast, set you already need to move really quickly
If you make cold water, it will take a long time to set
That is our only control in the clinic of set time
