Impression materials such as alginate and hydrocolloids are used to make negative reproductions of teeth and oral structures to create study models, dies, and prosthetics. Alginate is the most commonly used impression material due to its low cost, ease of use, and accuracy for preliminary impressions and diagnostic models, though it lacks the fine detail needed for final restorations. The selection of impression material depends on the intended use, with alginate and hydrocolloids being inexpensive preliminary options and elastomers like polyvinyl siloxane and polyether used for final impressions.

Dental Implants and Biomaterials.
We discuss the Various Biomaterials and their Dental Applications.
We also discussed the Advantages and Disadvantages of the Dental Applications of these Materials.
A dental implant (also known as an endosseous implant or fixture) is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor. The basis for modern dental implants is a biologic process called osseointegration where materials, such as titanium, form an intimate bond to bone.
We are going to discuss the four Biomaterials and their Dental Applications, the Advantages and Disadvantages of each Material.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
2. Overview
Used primarily to reproduce the form of the teeth in a negative reproduction
This includes existing restorations, hard and soft tissues, and preparations
Also used to fabricate prostheses and other oral devices
Making impressions of oral structures is an almost everyday occurrence in a busy dental
practice.
Selection of the impression material will be influenced by what the impression will be used
for.
Typically, a material must be in a moldable or plastic state that can adapt to the teeth and
tissues.
3.
4. Types of models made from impressions
Diagnostic casts
Study models
Die: when an impression is made of a tooth that has already been
prepared for a restoration
Used for the fabrication of the restoration in the dental laboratory
Allows the dentist or lab tech to perform procedure by the indirect technique.
5. Types of Impressions
Dental impressions can be categorized into three
basic types based on how they will be used:
1. Preliminary impressions
2. Final impressions
3. Bite registration (occlusal) impressions
5
6. Preliminary Impressions
Preliminary impressions are made as precursor to other treatment.
Also called “pre-impression”
Often used for:
Planning purposes
Diagnostic casts
Temporary crowns
Custom trays
Working models
7. Final Impressions
Final impressions are more accurate in their replication of
the oral structures.
They are used to make final restorations, such as crowns,
bridges, partials, and complete dentures.
We will talk more about final impression materials in a later
lecture.
8. Bite Registration
Bite registration is a replication of the patient’s bite and is used to
establish the proper relation between a restoration or prosthesis and
the opposing teeth.
An impression is made that captures the relationship, so it can be
used in the office or sent to the lab where the restoration is being
fabricated.
Used to help mount diagnostic casts in their proper relationship on
an articulator
Used with a facebow
10. Types of Impression Materials
Two major groups
Elastic materials
Hydrocolloids, polysulfides, silicone rubber materials (condensation and
addition; polyvinyl siloxane), polyethers, and hybrid of polyether and PVS
PVS, Alginate, Polyethers are most commonly used
Inelastic materials
Older impression material
Will talk about more later
11. Key Properties
Accuracy
When the impression is made the impression material must
closely adapt to and flow over the surface of the tooth prep
and tissues to record the minute detlails in order to be
accurate.
The material will tend to flow if it has low viscosity and there
is pressure on the material as the tray is seated
12. Key Properties
Tear Resistance
After the impression material sets, it must have good tear resistance to
prevent tearing during removal from the mouth
With a crown impression the material in the gingival sulcus is very thin, and
would tear if the tear resistance was poor
13. Key Properties
Dimensional Stability
After the impression is removed, the set material
must remain dimensionally stable, otherwise casts
and dies poured from it would be inaccurate
14. Impression Trays
Trays carry the impression material to the mouth and to support
it until it sets, is removed from the mouth, and is poured into
dental plaster or stone
They should be rigid to prevent distortion of the impression
They can be made for arches with teeth or for edentulous ridges
Edentulous: having no teeth
15. Stock trays
Premanufactured trays
Purchased in a variety of sizes
Small, medium, large, extra large
For adults and children
Can be metal or plastic
Plastic trays are inexpensive and disposable
Metal trays are more expensive and must be cleaned and sterilized between uses
Solid or perforated
Perforated have holes in their sides and bottom to help retain impression material as it extrudes through the holes and
locks it into place
Solid trays often have raised borders on the internal surface that help lock in the impression material
Rim lock
Require the use of adhesive to retain the impression and prevent distortion
16. Stock trays
Because of the wide variation in size and shape of patient’s
arches, stock trays may not fit some patients well
Ideally, the tray should conform to:
length
size and height of the arch
Depth of the palatal vault
Position of teeth
18. Custom Trays
Custom made
Usually constructed in the lab with chemical-cured, light-cured or
thermoplastic resins on casts of teeth
Custom fit to the mouth of an individual
They can also be made by lining a stock tray with a putty material that is
adapted to the dental arch of the individual
Can be made for full arch or sectional impressions for part of an arch
20. Triple Trays
Aka: Double-bite, dual-arch, check-bite trays
Used to make impression of teeth being treated and the
opposing teeth at the same time
Can capture the correct centric occlusion (bite) of the
patient
Used to take the (1) impression of the preparation, (2)
opposing arch, (3) relationship of the arches (hence TRIPLE
TRAY)
21. Bite Registration Trays
TRIPLE TRAY
Typically U-shaped
Plastic Frames with thin fiber mesh stretched between the sides and is thin enough not to
interfere with the patient’s bite
Mesh retains bite registration material
Material is placed on both sides of the mesh
Frame is positioned over the teeth to be recoded
Patient closes into normal bite relationship until the material sets
23. Hydrocolloids
Colloid: glue-like material composed of two or more substances in which one
substance does not go into solution but is suspended within another substance
Hydrocolloid: water-based colloids that function as elastic impression materials
Two hydrocolloids used in dentistry
Alginate
Irreversible hydrocolloid
Agar
Reversible hydrocolloid
24. Agar Hydrocolloid
Like gelatin
When agar powder is mixed with water, it forms a glue-like suspension that
entraps the water, making a colloidal suspension called sol
Heating will disperse the agar in the water faster
When the agar sol is chilled, it will gel
Becoming semisolid or jelly-like (Jell-O)
When agar is heated it will reverse its state back into a liquid suspension (sol)
AKA reversible
25. Alginate
Irreversible hydrocolloid
Alginate powder also forms a gel that sols, but chemical reaction
occurs that prevents it from reversing back to gel when heated
By far the most widely used impression material
Inexpensive
Easy to manipulate
Requires no special equipment
Reasonably accurate for many dental procedures
26. Alginate- Irreversible Hydrocolloid
Used for:
Making impressions for diagnostic casts
Partial denture frameworks
Repairs of broken partial or complete denture
Fabrication of provisional restorations
Fluoride and bleaching trays
Sports protectors
Preliminary impressions for edentulous arches
Removable ortho appliances
And MANY MORE
27. Alginate- Irreversible Hydrocolloid
Not accurate enough for final impressions for:
Inlay
Onlay
Crown
Bridge
Does not capture the fine detail of the preparation needed for a precise fit of such restorations
It is thick and does not flow well into the embrasures or occlusal surfaces
Final impressions are made with one of the elastomers
PVS or Polyether
28. More uses for Alginate Impressions
Diagnostic casts (study models)
Preliminary impressions for
complete dentures
Partial denture frameworks
Opposing casts for crown and
bridge tx
Repairs of partial and complete
dentures
Provisional restorations
Custom trays for home-use
fluoride or bleaching
Sports protectors and night
guards
Removable orthodontic
appliances
29. Composition and Setting Reaction
Main active ingredient in alginate is potassium or sodium
alginate
Makes up 15%- 20% of the powder
Produced by derivatives of seaweed
Alginate dust contains silica particles
Potentially a health hazard if inhaled
What do we do to avoid this??
30. Composition and Setting Reaction
When alginate powder is mixed with water, calcium sulfate dehydrate reacts
with sodium alginate to form calcium alginate
Calcium alginate is insoluble and causes the sol of the mixed powder and water to gel
Caused by chemical reaction, so it cannot be reversed
Rapid chemical rxn so trisodium phosphate is added as a retarder to delay the
reaction
The amount of retarder that is added will control the time of the set and will
differentiate between regular-set, fast-set, extra fast set
31. Working Times
Regular-set alginates have a working time of 2 to 3 minutes.
Fast-set alginates have a working time of 1.25 to 2 minutes.
Working time starts when the materials—powder and liquid—are
joined.
The longer one takes to mix the material, the less time one has to
load and seat the tray.
32. Setting Times
Regular-set alginates take from 2 to 5 minutes to set completely.
Fast-set alginates take from 1 to 2 minutes to set completely.
Setting time may be adjusted by altering water temperature.
The impression is left in the mouth beyond the appearance of set
to reduce tearing and distortion.
33. Permanent Deformation
Alginate will be compressed when it is removed from undercuts in the mouth.
The greater the compression, the more likely it is that the alginate will be permanently deformed
to some degree.
The ideal thickness of the impression is 2 to 4 mm.
Thin alginate deforms and tears easily.
When removing the impression from the mouth, one should use a rapid snap movement to
decrease deformation.
The impression must be kept wet until the assistant is ready to pour up the impression in dental
plaster (gypsum).
Impressions also must be disinfected.
34. Dimensional Stability
The impression must be kept wet.
Once removed from the mouth, the impression should be rinsed and
disinfected.
Wrap in damp (not dripping wet) paper towel and sealed in Ziploc
bag
If the impression loses too much moisture, it will shrink and become
distorted
Some moisture will still be lost, even in 100% humidity from syneresis
Contract and some part of the liquid is squeezed out
35. Tear Strength
Alginate mixed with too much water will be weaker and
more likely to tear.
Thin sections are also prone to tear.
Slow removal from the mouth may cause the material
to tear.
Removed from mouth in rapid “snap” to prevent tear
36. Making Alginate Impressions
The objective of impression making is to reproduce the oral structures with acceptable accuracy
while practicing good infection control and maintaining patient comfort.
The dental assistant and the dental hygienist can make alginate impressions.
They will need to prepare the patient for the impressions and to dispense, mix, and load the
alginate into trays.
After removal of the impression, the assistant or the hygienist disinfects and properly handles the
impression until it is poured with the appropriate gypsum material.
The assistant or hygienist also may be responsible for clearing residual alginate from the mouth and
face of the patient.
37. Selecting the tray
The borders of the tray should be approximately ¼ to ½ inch away
from the soft tissues and the teeth.
The posterior of the lower tray should extend to include the retromolar
pad
The posterior of the upper tray should extend to include the tuberosity
and the hamular notch
Beading wax or utility wax may be placed on the borders of the impression tray
for further extension and adaptation to the patients mouth
38. Background information
Retromolar pad-triangular area
located behind the last molar
Hamular notch- slender projection
of bone that lies behind/posterior
and medial to the maxillary
tuberosity
Tuberosity- the bulging lower
extremity of the posterior surface of
the body of the maxilla, behind the
root of the last molar tooth.
39. Selecting the Tray
The trays must be clean and sterile before placing them in the patient’s
mouth
Tray adhesives are applied to Teflon and solid trays after they have been initially
fitted in the patient’s mouth
When the proper trays have been selected, assemble the materials and
equipment to mix the impression material (alginate)
Measure and mix the impression material according to manufacturers
instructions.
40.
41.
42.
43. Criteria for Clinically Acceptable Alginate
Impressions
All teeth and alveolar processes are recorded
Peripheral roll and frenums included
No large voids and few small bubbles present
Good preproduction of detail
Free of debris
No distortion
Alginate firmly attached to tray
44. Criteria for Clinically Acceptable Alginate
Impressions
Maxillary Impressions:
Palatal vault recorded
Hamular notch area included
Mandibular Impressions
Retromolar areas included
Lingual extensions recorded
45. Loading the tray (MANDIBULAR)
Gather the impression material together
Pick up one half of the material with spatula and place it into
the left side of the tray from the lingual
Pick up the other half of the material with spatula and place
it into the right side of the tray being careful not to trap air
Overfill the tray slightly and smooth material with spatula
Remove excess material from the outside of the tray
The tray is now ready to be inserted into the patient’s mouth
46. Loading the Tray (MAXILLARY)
Gather the impression materials together
Pick up material and place on the posterior palatal area of
the tray
Press the material and place on the posterior palatal area of
the tray
Overfill the tray slightly and smooth material with spatula
Remove excess material from the outside of the tray
The tray is now ready to be inserted into the patient’s mouth
