Dentsply Zelgan Advanced is a dust-free irreversible hydrocolloid alginate impression material that can be used to make perfect preliminary dental impressions with excellent reproducibility of the anatomical features of the dental arches. This quality impression material can be used to make dental impressions to fabricate study models, models of the opposing arch and working models for the fabrication of orthodontic appliances, removable prostheses, and temporary restorations. Special formulation of the powder eliminates dust during mixing. This aids the clinician to make dental impressions of higher quality. To enhance the adhesion of the impression of the tray, alginate tray adhesive materials may be used.

Direction to Use :

Preparation:

Ensure that you have all the necessary materials ready, including the alginate powder, water, measuring scoop, mixing bowl, spatula, and appropriate trays.

Clean and dry the trays that will be used for the impressions.

If desired, apply alginate tray adhesive materials to the trays to enhance the adhesion of the impression material.

Mixing:

Measure the appropriate amount of alginate powder using the provided measuring scoop. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the recommended powder-to-water ratio.

Fill the mixing bowl with the required amount of clean water at the recommended temperature. The temperature may vary depending on the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Slowly add the alginate powder to the water while continuously stirring with the spatula. Mix thoroughly to ensure a homogenous and smooth consistency.

Continue mixing for the recommended time specified by the manufacturer to activate the alginate material properly.

Ensure that the powder is completely incorporated and free of lumps. The special formulation of the powder eliminates dust during mixing.

Loading the tray:

Once the alginate material is mixed, quickly load it onto the prepared tray. Fill the tray evenly and smoothly to avoid any air bubbles or voids.

Place the loaded tray into the patient's mouth, ensuring proper alignment with the dental arches.

Instruct the patient to bite down gently and maintain the position until the impression material sets.

Setting and removal:

Allow the impression material to set according to the manufacturer's instructions. The setting time will depend on the specific formulation of the alginate material.

Once the material has set, gently remove the tray from the patient's mouth. Take care to maintain the integrity of the impression and avoid any distortion or damage.

Inspection and storage:

Inspect the dental impression for accuracy and quality, ensuring that it captures the anatomical features of the dental arches.

Rinse the impression under running water to remove any debris or excess material.

Allow the impression to air dry completely before storing or sending it to the dental laboratory.
