OBJECTIVES
To evaluate the dimensional change over time of two extended-storage alginate impression materials.
METHODS
Impressions were made of stainless steel dies in accordance with ADA Specification No. 18 using three alginates: two extended-storage alginates and one conventional alginate. The impressions were stored for 30 minutes, 48 hours, or 100 hours (n = 10 impressions/material/storage time). Following the respective storage times, dimensional change was measured by comparing the length of the middle horizontal line in the impression with the same line on the die and computing percent difference.
RESULTS
Significant differences in dimensional change were noted between materials across time (P < .05). All materials exhibited shrinkage after 30 minutes, with the conventional alginate continuing to shrink over time and the extended-storage alginates expanding with increased storage time. The conventional alginate was most accurate after 30 minutes. In contrast, one extended-storage alginate demonstrated minimal dimensional change at all storage times, and another was most accurate after 100-hour storage.
CONCLUSIONS
Evidence suggests that delayed pouring with dental gypsum should not adversely affect dimensional accuracy of the generated casts with both extended-storage alginates. However, only one of the extended-storage materials appears suitable for both short-term and extended-storage applications.
