𝐕𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐎 𝐓𝐎𝐏𝐈𝐂: Thank you so much for all your requests about this video! We wanted to create another "how-to" video but something a bit more useful for the real DA life and also something fun to watch so that it isn't quite as boring as some of the step-by-step stiff instructional videos online. In this video we discuss the most important steps of mixing alginate, dealing with gagging patients, improvising if you are missing materials AND what to look for in a good impression!
Tells us what are YOUR best tips to take alginate impressions

-DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON ALGINATE IMPRESSIONS:
1. Tumble container to fluff the powder.
2. Dip scoop lightly into powder and tap to ensure full measure. Scrape excess off with spatula.
3. For maxillary impressions, the water-powder ratio is: Three level scoops of powder (21 gms) to one level measure of water (60 ml).
For mandibular impressions: One or two level scoops of powder to 1/3 or 2/3 measure of water respectively.
4. Both powder and water should be measured at approximately 73°F (23°C). *Cold water retards setting, warm water accelerates setting.
5. Follow your product’s recommended mixing time. (Usually ~1 minute to achieve a creamy mix). Load the impressions tray with the alginate mix, insert it in the patient’s mouth, press and hold until the product’s recommended setting time. (Usually ~2 minutes for fast set and ~3 minutes for regular set).
6. Break seal and snap impression from the mouth.
7. Rinse impression thoroughly under running water to remove saliva and debris. Disinfect, rinse well with water and pour stone cast immediately to achieve the most accurate results. (If cast is to be poured later, wrap impression in wet towel. DO NOT STORE IN WATER.)

Thanks alot you guys! I graduated as an RDA almsot 3 yrs ago but I got pregnant and husband and I decided that I should be a sahm. I only had my experience from when I was in school and clinicals. And now I just applied as a part time for rda and hopefully I get hired even I'm lacking of experiences.

@amybaldwin5982 Год назад

Thanks for making these videos! They are incredibly helpful. I've been in the field for 4 months, and taking accurate impressions has been challenging. We use an alginator to mix but I think I'm going to hand mix from now on. Two weeks ago, in a rush, I started the alginator before I had mixed enough, and it went everywhere. Not on the patient fortunately! 😁

@DentalVibes Год назад

The alginator should make the mixing easier, but the key factor here is to learn the perfect consistency the alginate needs to be at for the impression. Once you master that, you’ll be golden! Good luck!

Thank you so much! We are glad we can help🙂 we can try to do it on a model for a quick video! Most offices don’t use dams anymore it’s 2020 so many new things that can replace it. We don’t remember last time we had to place one 🤷🏻‍♀️

@PromoShopper 3 года назад

As an RDA. That’s why when you measure the tray you ask the patient to lift their tongue so when you take the impression they know how to do it

Not sure if you guys read comments anymore since this was a year ago, but when I need a refresher on some topics I always come to y’all’s channel 😃 also, what type of scrubs do you guys wear? Carla’s blue ones look like Dickies? What is Gabby’s? Thank you

@DentalVibes 2 года назад

We try to reply to all comments 🙂 Thanks for supporting our channel💕 The pink scrub I’m wearing in this video is SOOO old 😅 it’s from Walmart I think. We get scrubs from our office now. I’m not sure what brand it is. But, if you go to Beall’s outlet you will find tons of cute scrubs at a great price. -Gabby

I always have trouble with the upper tray not fitting. It fits from one side but the other side it does not , do you have any tips ? I could really use it. Thank you

@DentalVibes 3 года назад

Hey kassandra! Great question🙂 So sometimes the type of tray you have might be narrow. Try a different type of tray 🙂 Recently our office ordered a different type of trays from Patterson and we didn’t like it. The small was too small and the medium was too big 🙄 try to order a different type of trays and let us know 🙂

@kassandracamacho6039 3 года назад

@@DentalVibes Thank you ! But I was referring tray as in retainer !😅 my retainer never fits on one side due to my impressions .! ): I’m really having trouble with them. what tips can you give me to make sure my impression will make a well fitted retainer?

@DentalVibes 3 года назад

@@kassandracamacho6039 🤣🤣🤣 well maybe your impressions have tears or bubbles. Make sure your pouring technique is on point too. No bubbles. If there are holes in the models you should fill it in prior to making the trays. We hope this helps 😅

@miriamd8537 2 года назад

I have a really hard time pulling out the dental trays. They get really stuck. My dentist doesn’t like me putting impression material on the upper impressions palatal/roof of mouth area. Any tips? Thank you

@DentalVibes 2 года назад

You can do a couple of things: try lowering the chair or reclining it a bit so that you can have better grasp of the tray while you are removing it. Make sure to grab the tray with one hand and then use the fingers on your other hand to help dislodge the tray. Also, you can ask the patient to say “aaah” while simultaneously pulling down on the tray to remove it-doing so allows the soft palate to release any possible suction it’s creating with the impression material. This takes practice!

Hi im going to start dental assistant school this year during Nov && my question is do we have to renew our license like very year or some ? And is that free or we have to pay some to renew all the time ? ( Sorry this question doesn’t have to do with impression’s but I hope y’all would help me with that concern ?)

@DentalVibes 3 года назад

Jessica Aparicio hey Jessica! So I would check your state regulations. Every state is different, in Florida we don’t need to have a license. If your state requires a yearly renewal I’m sure it’s not free. I hope this helps 🙂

@jessicaaparicio5784 3 года назад

Dental Vibes oh okay yes I will check on that, thanks for the reply tho (: - love y’all’s videos -

@shivvy101 2 года назад

If you are a certified dental assistant no you don’t, registered dental assistant (expanded duties) yes you do have to re-new.

@juliebaxter3564 8 месяцев назад

Are you both qualified to take x-rays and impressions for whitening by GDC standards. If not give it up now. I hope you have had an impression training course which is a legality in the UK in order to take impressions. Do you also have a radiography certificate as well as now there is no need for lead aprons. I am talking a proper GDC and NEBDN Certificate and Radiography. Only a GDC dentist can prescribe whitening and prescribe x-rays.

@DentalVibes 8 месяцев назад

Of course we are qualified!! Why would we make a training video if we’re not qualified? Don’t worry about our qualifications 🙂

@catwoman923 Год назад

What are Tori’s ???

@DentalVibes Год назад

They are growths of bone that can be found on the lingual side of the mandible but can also grow on the palate or the buccal of both arches. Usually don’t bother the patient but their presence in the mouth can make it challenging to take xrays!

@hinamina4043 2 года назад

I love your channel because you providing us informative information about dentistry, but please teach them this habit toooooooo,like. most of people don't say anything front of dentist, but they never like that habit, dentist touch their hands on contaminated surface with same gloves ,like you touch ur face mask and dirty chair, whel you working into patient's mouth , I don't understand why dentist not set up the patient first and then change the 🧤 with new one. Most of dentist so cheap the charge for VIP service and when they feel patient don't know anything about the service ,then they try to skip things and save money , why they don't realize that when someone get infection ,then they have to pay for this from their pockets for your mistakes..😢 they don't they have any humanity in their heart.

@alexisthomas5447 6 месяцев назад

I love your videos so much but one thing I noticed was that you both put the impression tray in the others mouth and then didn’t switch the gloves when getting the material so both of your saliva is kinda everywhere.. I’m not trying to be that person lol just something I noticed!!

@DentalVibes 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! Just remember we do cut parts and put the video together. We didn’t use each other’s trays. We love each other but not that much lol
