How To Take Perfect Primary Dental Impressions and Make Perfect Stone Models (Pour Up Alignate)

Taking perfect impressions in dentistry is extremely important. If the impression isn't accurate, then the model will be inaccurate and then everything that comes after that will also be inaccurate.
In this video I show you how to take the perfect algiante impression, and then how to turn these into perfect stone models.
We talk about using an adhesive spray, periphery wax, how to limit gagging, how to disinfect the models, how to pour them up into perfect models, how to trum them models, how to reduce air bubbles.

Hey legends, thanks for watching! Feel free to comment if you have any questions - I always endevaour to write back on the same day. If you get a chance, it would mean a lot to me if you could like the video and subscribe to the channel. It helps with the KZbin algorithm and it will mean I can get more videos out to more people! Have a great day :-)

I used to work in a dental lab, and I was in charge of pouring and trimming the impressions. Our stone definitely set up a lot quicker than this, so I had to be quick. There are tons of tips and tricks to keep the air bubbles out. Setting up impressions for an implant scared me at first, as you only have one chance to get it perfect, but I became a pro at it. loved that job.

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

I'm sure you would be very good at all of this!

[@mylanyoung]

This is the second video of yours that I'm watching and I'm sold! I wish all our instructors at school would teach the tips and tricks like you do - we barely got any training or practice with impressions due to COVID. Subscribed and looking forward to your future videos!

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

Awesome I'm glad to hear it helps 🙌🙌

[@AdsorbentBoot3]

Dental prosthetic student here. I loved how you included an impression with and without the adhesive. Tips like that are the ones that will always stick around and, I'd imagine, save some headaches. Awesome vid!

They don’t teach any of these little details that are actually really important to have a accurate models in dental school.Thank you for sharing Doctor I will use them tommorrow in the lab 🙏❤️

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

You're welcome 🙌

[@yosefkowalsky3004]

Great instructional video . Thanks . Couple of points . Bubbles on stone are actually saliva droplets . So give a quick blast of air over the teeth before u place alginate with your finger. 2. When pouring stone into the alginate start at last tooth and add from there continuously excess water will flow forward. 3. Place paper towel over vibratory that is wet. When inverting the poured alginate place on a ceramic tile or inverted metal tray . Do not place on dry paper towel it will absorb water out of the stone . After you have inverted poured alginate , now cover with the wet paper towel you had on vibrator so it sets in moist environment. Srperate the model from the alginate impression as soon as it sets to avoid dried alginates absorbing back from stone .

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

Love the extra tips!

[@jorgemontes6800]

No they are not saliva droplets because if you’ve taken impressions with dry teeth you can still get bubbles. So it is best to smear material into the teeth.

[@yosefkowalsky3004]

@@jorgemontes6800 ever since i started to give a slight blast of air . Much less bubbles in the stone . But yes smear the alginate on the occlusals w a finger before placing the tray in

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

Jorge I was actually going to do an experiment of drying the tooth vs smearing, and see if there are still bubbles. For my own knowledge

[@yosefkowalsky3004]

@@DrPaulsDentalWorld let me know

[@VirgoSun23]

May I comment as a patient? PLEASE, above all...LISTEN to your patient! I have severe emetophobia (fear of vomiting), which causes panic attacks if I even only start gagging. I've struggled with this my whole life. You can imagine how big of an impact it had on my oral health. I was talked into a top denture in my 20's, without warning of what I was going to experience. They knew of my phobia right off the bat. When they went to take my impression, of course, I had a panic attack. It was embarrassing, but I had no control over it. Then, the actual dentist came in, took the tray, forced it in my mouth, and held it there as I threw up twice in his hand. I should've left after that, I know, but all I wanted was a smile I wasn't embarrassed about. I heard them break every single tooth. I was shaking so hard you could hear my legs hitting the chair. I had tears spilling over into my hair because I couldn't wipe them away. They never once asked if I was okay or if I needed a break. They kept going (it was the dentist and his assistant only), talking casually over my face like I wasn't there. Of course, my denture came back uneven, the roof of it partially touching one side, hanging to my tongue on the other. I was devastated. That was around 15 years ago. It traumatized me. Always thought about "all-on-fours" so I could cut the roof out, but never could afford it. I should've left that day. I should've never let that man talk me into such an extreme procedure when I probably didn't need it yet. Sorry, I didn't mean to go on such a long rant lol got myself crying over here. But please, always make sure you listen to your patients. This phobia may seem silly to some, but it's very real. I hate it and wish I didn't have it.

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

Sounds like a terrible experience, sorry to hear!

[@Angelluvs05]

That sounds like a nightmare WORSE then one I'm currently enduring 🥺 I 1000% agree w/ u as I'm undergoing near identical treatment myself 💔 Always hated the idea of dentures, in midst of snap ins due for the uncovering in Feb & literally all my issues, complaints, suffering & set backs have been ignored 😡 I'd give anything to go back, however, ALL my teeth had been rootcanaled which after 6yrs were failing major so the options were not there for me 😭😭😭😭 Heartbroken & devastated,,,, praying my permanent are done well & properly 🙏🙏🙏 Hope things are better for u ❤

[@theword2011]

Listening to what a patients wants sometimes, differs greatly from what a patient needs for better health. If the teeth were infected then taking them out was the best choice health wise, regardless of feelings.

[@SewFloSewing]

That is so horrible! I’ve been watching a lot of videos like this and apparently that’s how they are taught, to hold it there while it cures no matter what, puke and all. They should have at the very least warned you of that when you told them about your gagging and asked you if you were okay!

[@VirgoSun23]

@theword2011 they weren't infected. Not quite sure how you got that from my comment? I had bonding performed some time before that, which was not only a huge waste of money but a big regret. It constantly chipped, starting a week after it was done. Eventually, one of them cracked in a big way, and then everything just went downhill. I have learned over the last few years that I have issues with my vitamin D AND my bones, at 42, are thin and I have osteoporosis. Not sure what effects that may have had on my teeth, if any. That still doesn't take away from my experience.

[@googleaccountuser6976]

That tip about putting tray in upper, push up in back first so material doesn’t go down throat**** i wish my dentist knew this!!

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

Yeah it's a good one! Also good to know not to overload the tray so there aren't huge amounts of overflow!

[@merlealibin9232]

The way you explain and do it is really nice, I wish all dentist and assistant are watching this too so they will be more knowledgeable of what their doing because some of them is terrible not knowing the patient is hurting.

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

Thank you 🙌

[@TheReneepruitt]

I am a retired Dental Assistant, just retired in 21! These things you are showing is what needs to be taught in the schools for sure. People would come from other offices or fresh out of school and say they have never been shown any of these tips. I would do these things, and be amazed they never even heard of them. Like the salt, and putting water on the the alginate, putting some on the teeth.. and even putting a thick base for the models. And making the base then place the tray to that base that is how I would do it. To me all of these things were 101 techniques all Students should have been taught. Or if someone has been in dental offices for a few years, should understand and have done. But then again I had several pts and a son who used to have such bad gag reflex that I did all the techniques I could think of to help them not gag. So maybe that is why I knew different ways to help them. Also on top I would take a bit of the alginate off the back so it would not have much of any go to far in the throat. Some days I miss my job! Lol but I have done it since the 90’s so I had to quit. Burn out and loss of my son made my head all messed up. I couldn’t concentrate as well since I lost him. And well I tried to keep going for 6 yrs after.. but I just still wasn’t there.. I would drive to and from work and sometimes forget where I was or what I was doing or how I got there! Scary! But I am getting better. I am also a certified Medical Assistant in addition to certified DA so I fall back to the MA and take care of elderly part time., private (not a company) I go to their house and clean and cook and bath them and keep them company, play games with them and lift their spirits.. so it helps me and I love it. It is good to have a plan B !

My lab guy said adding more water may impact the strength of the cast and may fracture while they make special trays etc .

The dentist said doesn't "know what your expectations are" cus she looked at it with the retainer in my mouth and said nothing wromg with the fit visually. I told her " I expect no pain and movement such now my lower front teeth hit the top front teeth". I even took it home for a few days to try and it wasn't working out. Don't know if adhesive would have made my mold fit better.

If you feel like it isn't fitting properly, and it caused your other teeth to move, I would look at getting them to make you another one. You could possibly get a clear retainer instead.

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

Ah OK. Very broad topics and one where there isn't going to be a right or wrong answer. For me I use polyvinylsiloxane with a light body on the tooth and heavy body in the tray and then seat the tray. For the temp crown I have a video on how to make them, which you may find useful. Currently using a rein temp cement which I like, but previously have used tempbond

[@NgaNguyen-zx9pr]

Could you please tell me how to measure the water without the cup? Because in my dental office they don’t use cup when mixing alginate

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

Sorry I can't, because the powder to water ratio is normally specific to the type of alginate you use. If you don't measure, you will just have to practise and get a feel for what it should feel like.

Thanks Alot. Very well explained. I have 3 questions. Kindly help me. 1. Is it fine to everytime put a little alginate on teeth before seating the tray? 2. How to avoid model breakage while seperating it from tray? Does adhesive helps there? 3. How to proceed if model gets broken?

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

You're welcome! 1. Yes, do this to stop air bubbles 2. You have to get it off slowly and also make sure that the base is thick enough. This is mentioned in the video 3. Either take a new impression or super glue them back together

[@AvalonDreamz]

Where I go they have a machine where there are like tubes of this stuff they load in and it pushes out into the trays. Is that normal?

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

Yep, just a different type of material 👌

[@ruqaya7401]

I've midterm exam tomorrow 🥲 how much water would you typically need for mandibular impression?

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

Sorry, I only just saw this! It depends on how many scoopa you use, and also the alginate recommendations (they are all a bit different, and also normally come with a measuring container)

[@phillipmoritz8021]

Gday. Thanks for making the video. After getting shocking dentures that top & bottom did not mate, the lower plate had teeth that were way too high (I use to have a nice smile, now all you see is bottom teeth & you cant even see the top teeth which ruined my smile) and all the teeth were too far in and slanted inwards, totally unnatural feeling which also made my cheeks and lips appear sucked in. I hated it. I cant & wont wear them and refused to pay for them they were that bad. This was all done thru the Adelaide Public Dental Clinic. So I decided to make them myself as I have used resins, silicones, alginates, & plaster working in Special FX, plug & mold making. I will certainly like & subscribe... but I was wondering if you could provide links to get the materials - preferably in Australia. Thanks m8. ✌

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

Hi Philip, the things you will need can be found doing a google search. We are linked with dental supply companies, but you have to be a dental practice to get them. Off the top of my head you need - Alginate powder - Impression tray - Dental yellow stone - Light cured acrylic to make a custom impression tray - Polyvinyl siloxane for the second impression - Plaster of Paris for the second model (better than yellow stone) - Pink wax to make wax rims - Acrylic teeth - Investing box - Methyl methacrylate acrylic to make the denture By the time you've bought all of this, the cost will be similar to making a denture. You may also not get it right. It's very hard (as you have seen). Don't go to a public system. They don't do these enough, and because they are hard, they don't always turn out well. Go to a dental prosthetist - their job is making dentures. They aren't dentists so often their fees are less.

[@phillipmoritz8021]

Thank you for your reply. Yes it does work out expensive - but I have found DIY Denture kits to be a lot more cost effective. I was thinking of buying the materials thru Alliexpress - China.. but still expensive and noted there are a number of different molding techniques on KZbin

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

@phillipmoritz8021 good luck with it!

[@triziamariecameros7613]

Good day! Are there any tips that you can give for those who are not using a vibrator for mixing alginate and plaster powder? thank you!

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

Hi there! The vibrator isn't necessary for the mixing but it is important for getting the plaster into the impression. If you don't have a vibrator I would make the mix a bit more runny so that it flows in easier, and you may want to tap it on the bench to help that

[@gnanamkannan7803]

Brilliant !!!

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

Thank you!

[@tylerpayton8957]

What do you recommend if you have to mail you’re impressions back to keep them accurate?

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

Good question! They use a different material that is meant to be stable over time so they should be as accurate as possible. I do question the accuracy of the material over time, but I assume it is good. The difficulty for you will be taking the impression. You can use the tips from this video about how to seat the tray etc. Just make sure that it sits passively over the teeth, and when you seat it, it goes down far enough over the teeth to completely cover them.

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

Not that I know of sorry! This is all from my own learnings

[@Alim0808]

Hey great video, if I’m making a wax mould from the impression do I need to trim down the excess and if so what should I use if I don’t have that machine you have?

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

You don't technically need to trim, it just makes it easier to make the wax mould. Without the machine, not much else you can use that I know of

[@Alim0808]

@@DrPaulsDentalWorld Thanks this helped a lot, also what should I do if the alginate gets a bit clumpy?

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

It shouldn't get clumpy if you mix it properly and in the right proportions, and the water temp is not too warm. If it does, start again.

Hope you can answer a question for me... I have a VERY small mouth. Even with the smallest size tray my dentist had I felt like the corners of my mouth were going to split to get that tray in. They basically forced it in. Should it be that difficult to get a tray in a patients mouth or should I ask for a smaller tray to be procured procured. My immediate dentures were so big for my mouth. If the tray is too big, wouldn't it make the dentures too big as well? Thanks for your time. ❤

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

It shouldn't be that difficult to get a small tray in, but some people simply have very small mouths, you might be in that category. Does that affect the immediate dentures? No. The impression is taken, and the dentures are made from the impression of your mouth. Even if the tray is too big, it doesn't make the impression too big (not sure if that makes sense). Immediate dentures are always bulky and will feel that way.

[@misfitkitties]

@@DrPaulsDentalWorld Ok, thank you for your quick reply. Just wanted to make sure I didn't sound ignorant to my dentist tomorrow 😂.

[@DrPaulsDentalWorld]

@misfitkitties no problem, good luck with it! Be prepared for the immediate to be not very good for the first 6months (it takes about that long for the bone and gums to heal and stabilise)
