Does adding disinfectants affect dental impression shape?
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding disinfectants to dental alginate (a material used to make impressions of teeth) affects how well the resulting models hold their shape. It is a lab study, so it may help dental professionals understand how to keep impressions accurate when disinfecting them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a typodont model (a plastic teeth model used in dental training) with a complete upper arch.
- You need dental stone casts (models made from dental impressions) that have no cracks, pores, or other visible flaws.
- Your dental impressions must be free of distortion, under-extension, or holes.
- Your casts must not have any fractures, incomplete pouring, or bubbles.
