DENTAL IMPRESSION A dental impression is a negative imprint of hard (teeth) and soft tissues in the mouth from which a positive reproduction (cast or model) can be formed. IMPRESSION MATERIALS Impression material is of liquid or semi-solid nature when first mixed and placed in the mouth. It then sets to become an elastic solid (usually takes a few minutes depending upon the material), leaving an imprint of person's dentition and surrounding structures of oral cavity.
DESIRABLE QUALITIES OF IMPRESSION MATERIALS: Biocompatibility: nonirritant,non allergic acceptable taste and odour should not absorb or dissolve in oral fluid Rheological Properties low viscosity viscosity should increase quickly pseudoplastic nature Mechanical properties: high elasticity and complete elastic recovery
Adequate compressive strength high tear strength high flexibility Thermal properties: low softening temperatures high thermal conductivity Physical properties good dimensional stability reproduction of details O thers economical easy to use
Theories of Setting 1. Colloidal Theory 2. Hydration Theory 3. Dissolution Theory( Crystalline theory)
ALGINATE: Elastic I rreversible hydrocolloid M ost frequently used dental material.
COMPOSITION OF ALGINATE : Ingredients % b y w t. Functions Sodium or Potassium or Triethanolamine alginate 15% Dissolve in water Calcium sulphate ( Reactor ) 16% Reacts with soluble alginates and form insoluble calcium alginate Zinc Oxide 4% Act as a filler particle Potassium Titanium Fluoride 3% Act as accelerator for the setting of a stone to be poured in impression to ensure hard, dense surface of a cast. Diatomaceous Earth 60% Also act as a filler , provide strength and stiffness Sodium Phosphate ( Retarder ) 2% Reacts with calcium sulphate there by retard the setting of impression Coloring and flavouring agent traces For the comfort of patient
APPLICATION : It is used for impression making when there are undercuts in mouth with excessive flow of saliva for partial dentures with clasp F o r m aki n g a p r eli m i n ar y i mp r e s s i o n f or complete dentures and treatment dentures. As a duplicating material.
DRAWBACKS WITH ALGINATE: P o or d i mens iona l s ta b ilit y ( i m bib i t i o n o r dessication is a problem). Low tear strength . Silica dust in the form diaomaceous earth. Poor adhesive with tray
ADVANCES IN ALGINATE IMPRESSION : Extended-pour alginate Tray adhesive for alginate High viscosity alginate Colour changing alginate Two paste alginate form Infection free alginate
EXTENDED -POUR ALGINATES Extended pour alginate is designed for use with alginate impression material which enables to delay pouring up impression under specified storage conditions. MILLENIUM ALGIN is considered an alginate of new generation alginate.
MILLENIUM : Class A type 1 alginate Tixotropic Extra-fast in-mouth minimum setting time 30 sec High accuracy: 15 micron Long dimensional stability (168 hours) Dust free 5 years of expiry date
M anufactured by LASCOD(Italy) STORING: The impression must be stored in a sealed plastic bag (Safe-Lock Bags by Lascod) without adding anything else. Do not leave the impression in open air or immersed in water. MILLENIUM working time can be extended when required with Personal Krono liquid. The liquid does not change MILLENIUM physical properties
đ Every drop of Personal Kronoâ20sec
TRAY ADHESIVE FOR ALGINATE liquid and spray containing polymide or diethylenetriamine polymer, ester gum and rosin in isopropyl alcohol or a combination of isopropyl alcohol with ethyl acetate has been introduced.
ACCUDENT XD TRAY ADHESIVE: N ew AccuDent XD Impression System creates impressions with dimensional accuracy and freedom from air bubbles and voids making it possible to create visibly better primary stone or virtual models.
DUST FREE ALGINATE: Sepiolite ,a natural mineral fiber containing magnesium silicate about 20microns was added to alginate as a substitute when added traps the alginate partiles thus reducing dust generation
COLOUR CHANGING ALGINATE: A combination of inorganic and organic(cresol red , naptholpthalein) along pH indicator has been incorparated . In such cases,the intial color of the alginate soon after mixing is a combination of pigment and Ph indicator where as the color of alginate after setting is the color due to pigment alone
TWO FORM PASTE ALGINATE : Q uite convenient to mix. Base paste contains a mix of soluble alginate, water and fillers. The reactor or catalyst paste contains calcium salt mixed with a viscous liquid that is non reactive towards calcium salt such as liquid paraffin. A pH stabilizing agent such as magnesium hydroxide is also added.
INFECTION FREE ALGINATE : qu a ter n ary bisquanidine a mm oni um compounds, co m p o u n d s , c h l orh e x i d i n e , dide c y ld i methy l a m mon i u m c h l o r id e w i t h out altering its properties.
ELASTOMERIC IMPRESSION MATERIALS El astomers comprises a group of synthetic polymer based impression material that are chemically crosslinked when set
Advantages of elastomeric impression materials over the hydrocolloid higher tear strength dimensionally stable on storage. Most of elastomers can be electroplated

DIGITAL IMAGING: Most of modern dentistry is already immersed in digital dentistry Computer-aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technologies are advancing rapidly.
ADVANTAGES OF INTRAORAL SCANNING: 1. Real-time visualization and evaluation Easy to correct, manipulate, or recapture images Segmental image capture Archival digitally, therefore no need to store physical casts No wastage of impression material and therefore environmentally friendly Economical, considering no use of impression trays, adhesives, or gypsum Do not need to disinfect before sending information to the laboratory
đ 8. No damage or wear and tear of the stone casts 9. Swift communication with the laboratory via the Internet . 10. Self-assessment for tooth preparations . Increased patient satisfaction Some systems have color scanning, shade selection, and still photograph image-taking
DISADVANTAGES O F INTRAORAL SCANING: Initial cost of equipment and software maintenance fees Learning curve can be difficult for some individuals Scan bodies needed for implant systems that are compatible with the design software Difficult to capture occlusion information for complex prosthodontics treatment. Cannot capture subgingival margins if obscured with blood, saliva, or tissue. Unable to accurately capture images of the edentulous arches Scanning patterns need to be followed as per manufacturerâs recommendations
THE FOLLOWING ARE MOST COMMONLY USED SYSTEM: 1âTRIOS 3:(3 shape) An innovative wireless intraoral scanner Easy battery exchange for non-stop scanning Long-lasting rechargeable batteries Realistic colors
CEREC (SIRONA): This device is a closed system in that the software is only compatible with the companyâs milling unit and the image files cannot be exported and used with other milling system.
