How is alginate impression made?
- Keep the margins clear: Keeping the margins free of saliva and blood is the key of an accurate impression.
- Tray Selection: Trying the impression tray inside the patient’s mouth before adding impression material on the tray makes the impression easy and predictable.
- Be conscious of the tendency to gag: Try using least amount of material possible for patients who are more susceptible to gagging. Also it can help to have patient sit up straight and by focusing on taking deep breaths in through his/her nose.
- Let the impression set: The best way to get an accurate impression is to let the impression set according to the time given on the package.
