the ideal impression material
EASY TO MIX AND HANDLE. SUITABLE WORKING TIME. SUITABLE SETTING TIME. COMPATIBLE WITH STONE NOT TOXIC OR ALLERGENIC TO THE PATIENT. DIMENSIONALLY STABLE ON SETTING. ACCURATE TO RECORD THE FINE DETAILS HAS ACCEPTABLE ODOR AND TASTE. ADEQUATE STRENGTH. ADEQUATE SHELF LIFE. ECONOMICAL READY TO BE DISINFECTED WITHOUT LOSS OF ACCURACY. FLUID OR PLASTIC WHEN INSERTED INTO THE MOUTH. IT MUST BE AN EXACT RECORD OF ALL THE ASPECTS OTHER TEETH AND TISSUE SURROUNDING IT MUST BE FREE FROM AIR BUBBLES ESPECIALLY IN THE FINISH LINE AREA.

ALGINATE
(IRREVERSIBLE HYDROCOLLOID)(IRREVERSIBLE HYDROCOLLOID) was developed as a substitute for
AGAR IMPRESSION
MATERIAL WHEN ITS SUPPLY BECAME SCARCE DURING WORLD
WAR II.
ALGINATE IS BASED ON A NATURAL SUBSTANCE EXTRACTED FROM CERTAIN — —. THE SUBSTANCE IS CALLED
BROWN SEAWEED
ANHYDRO-Β-D-
MANNURONIC ACID OR ALGINIC ACID
THE PRINCIPAL FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SUCCESS OF THIS
TYPE OF IMPRESSION MATERIAL ARE THAT IT IS (3)
EASY TO MANIPULATE,
COMFORTABLE FOR THE PATIENT,
AND RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE SINCE IT DOES NOT REQUIRE ELABORATE EQUIPMENT
THE CHIEF ACTIVE INGREDIENT OF THE IRREVERSIBLE
HYDROCOLLOID IMPRESSION MATERIALS IS ONE OF THE SOLUBLE
ALGINATES, SUCH AS (3)
SODIUM,
POTASSIUM,
OR TRIETHANOLAMINE ALGINATE

THE TYPICAL SOL-GEL REACTION CAN BE DESCRIBED SIMPLY
AS A REACTION OF
SOLUBLE ALGINATE WITH CALCIUM SULFATE
AND THE FORMATION OF AN INSOLUBLE CALCIUM ALGINATE
GEL
IN THE CLINICAL SETTING, IT IS TEMPTING TO ALTER THE
SETTING TIME BY CHANGING THE W/P RATIO OR THE MIXING
TIME. THIS SLIGHT MODIFICATION CAN HAVE MARKED EFFECTS

GENERALLY, ALGINATES ARE USED AS A
FIRST PRELIMINARY
IMPRESSION TO CONSTRUCT A CUSTOM TRAY FOR A MORE
ACCURATE SECOND IMPRESSION OR TO MAKE STUDY MODELS
TO HELP WITH TREATMENT PLANNING AND DISCUSSIONS WITH
THE PATIENT.

MAKING AN ALGINATE IMPRESSION (7)
- THE MEASURED POWDER IS SIFTED INTO PREMEASURED WATER THAT
HAS ALREADY BEEN POURED INTO A CLEAN RUBBER BOWL. - THE POWDER IS INCORPORATED INTO THE WATER BY CAREFULLY
MIXING WITH A METAL OR PLASTIC SPATULA THAT IS SUFFICIENTLY
FLEXIBLE TO ADAPT WELL TO THE WALL OF THE MIXING BOWL. ALL OF
THE POWDER MUST BE DISSOLVED. - THE RESULT SHOULD BE A SMOOTH, CREAMY MIXTURE THAT
DOES NOT READILY DRIP OFF THE SPATULA WHEN IT IS RAISED
FROM THE BOWL. - BEFORE SEATING THE IMPRESSION, THE MATERIAL SHOULD HAVE
DEVELOPED SUFFICIENT BODY SO THAT IT WILL NOT FLOW OUT OF
THE TRAY AND GAG THE PATIENT. - THE MIXTURE IS PLACED IN A SUITABLE TRAY, WHICH IS THEN
PLACED IN THE MOUTH. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE IMPRESSION
ADHERE AND BE RETAINED TO THE TRAY SO THAT THE
IMPRESSION CAN BE WITHDRAWN FROM AROUND THE TEETH. - ALGINATE IS VERY WEAK; THEREFORE THE TRAY MUST
FIT THE PATIENT’S ARCH SO THAT THERE IS A
SUFFICIENT BULK OF MATERIAL. THE THICKNESS OF THE
ALGINATE IMPRESSION BETWEEN THE TRAY AND THE
TISSUES SHOULD BE AT LEAST 3 MM. - ALGINATE HYDROCOLLOID MATERIALS ARE STRAIN-
RATE DEPENDENT. THUS THE TEAR STRENGTH IS
INCREASED WHEN THE IMPRESSION IS REMOVED
WITH A SNAP.
