Teeth are an organ of body that does not re-grow once lost (expecting for milk teeth). Sometimes we end up losing our teeth due to tooth decay, accident, gum diseases etc.  Nowadays we need not worry about our lost tooth as they can be easily replicated with artificial ones. With best in class treatment and technologies, entire set of teeth can be reproduced and fixed to gums. The preliminary and most important step for recreating a tooth is to take an impression.

Since no two teeth are alike, impressions are used to create that perfect fitting tooth which makes patient feel like natural tooth.  Whole purpose of obtaining an impression is to make sure bite is not impacted and no irritation occurs to gums and cheeks.

Generally dental impressions are used for making

• Custom whitening trays
• Dentures
• Custom dental trays
• Crowns, bridges, and veneers
• Abutments for dental implants
• Customized mouth guards

 Dental impression gives an imprint of teeth and oral tissue. These impressions are used to shape the tooth for patients. As patients we can hardly see these steps happening, let us look at few steps followed by dentists to take an impression and different dental impression materials used in the process.

·         Alginate mixture is prepared by mixing water and powder at specified proportions.

·         U shaped tray is filled with alginate mixture. Appropriate tray selection as per the jaw line of patient is very important

·         Tray is placed either on upper jaw or lower jaw, where dentists intend to take impression.

·         After certain time material hardens and sets, impressions are inspected thoroughly once removed.

·         Alginate impression has to be disinfected and stored as per standards, before handing over for casting

·         This mold is used to make a metal or porcelain crown, bridge, denture or veneer.

Dentist has to be fast and accurate in obtaining impressions, because alginate mixture sets in few minutes. Mixing, loading mixture in tray and inserting tray in patient’s mouth has to be done quickly. Dentist has to master the technique in order to get accurate and efficient results.

Patients may feel uncomfortable during the process. Hence a bib has to be placed and after the process is completed patient’s mouth has to be thoroughly cleaned.

Sodium Alginate

Alginate is a naturally obtaining substance found in cell walls of brown seaweeds. It’s an irreversible hydrocolloid impression material. Different species of seaweed are used to make different types of alginate powder that varies in gelling capacity.

The powder contains Sodium alginate, trisodium phosphate, calcium sulfate, zinc oxide, potassium titanium fluoride, diatomaceous earth etc. The powder when mixed with water forms gel like material due to various chemical reactions. Water temperature determines setting time of alginate mixture. Cool water lowers the setting time where as warm water fastens setting process. Instructions on product clearly indicate the type of water, proportions of powder and water to be used. Alginate mixtures are available in powder and paste form. Surface quality is best for paste type material.

Even with great advancement in dental impression materials like digital impression technology and rubber base impression materials etc, alginate mixture stands as a preferred choice for most the dentists because of its ease to use, cost-effectiveness and quick setting time. Coltene Coltoprint Alginate is the best option in alginate powder.
