1. Universal Forceps

Suitable for multiple teeth, often labeled as upper or lower jaw-specific.


Example: Forceps No. 150 (upper teeth) and No. 151 (lower teeth).


2. Anterior Forceps

Used for extracting front teeth (incisors and canines).

Narrow beaks for better grip on slender roots.



3. Premolar Forceps

Designed to extract premolars in the upper or lower jaw.



4. Molar Forceps

Heavier and curved for molar teeth with thicker roots.

Example: Cowhorn forceps for lower molars.



5. Root Tip Forceps

Fine-tipped forceps for removing root fragments.

Alginate Impression Material

 
Rs. 750/- Per packet



Price: Rs. 750/- 


Alginate Impression Material is a widely used dental material for taking impressions of the oral cavity. It is an elastic, irreversible hydrocolloid material that is popular due to its ease of use, affordability, and ability to produce reasonably accurate impressions for various dental applications.


Properties of Alginate:


1. Composition:


Sodium or potassium alginate (main component)


Calcium sulfate (reactor)


Potassium sulfate (ensures good surface texture with gypsum)


Trisodium phosphate (retarder to control setting time)


Fillers (e.g., silica for bulk)


Flavoring agents for patient comfort




2. Types:


  • Fast-set alginate: Sets in about 1-2 minutes.


  • Normal-set alginate: Sets in about 3-4 minutes.



3. Setting Reaction:


Sodium alginate reacts with calcium sulfate to form calcium alginate, which is insoluble and forms a gel.




4. Physical Properties:


  • Good elasticity


  • Adequate tear strength


  • Irreversible (once set, it cannot return to its liquid state)




Uses of Alginate:


1. Impression for Study Models:


  • Orthodontic treatment planning

  • Prosthetic planning


2. Preliminary Impressions:

  • For complete dentures, removable partial dentures



3. Fabrication of Diagnostic Casts:

  • To evaluate occlusion or plan surgical procedures.



4. Other Applications:


  • Mouthguards

  • Custom trays

  • Whitening trays


Advantages:

  • Easy to mix and handle.

  • Economical.
  • Comfortable for patients.

  • Quick setting time.
  • Captures fine details of soft tissues.



Disadvantages:

  • Limited dimensional stability (must be poured immediately).

  • Prone to tearing under stress.

  • Not suitable for precision impressions in crown and bridge work.

  • Susceptible to drying and deformation if not stored properly.


Steps for Using Alginate:


1. Preparation:


Select a suitable impression tray (metal or plastic).


Measure water and alginate powder as per manufacturer’s instructions.



2. Mixing:


Add powder to water and mix thoroughly to a smooth consistency.


3. Alginate Water Powder Ratio

The mixing ratio for Zetalgin alginate powder is typically 1 scoop of powder to 1 measure of water. However, the exact ratio may vary depending on the manufacturer’s instructions.


For Zhermack's Zetalgin, the commonly recommended proportions are:


1 scoop of powder (about 6 grams)

1 measure of water (about 14 mL)



Steps for Mixing:


1. Measure the powder and water using the provided scoops or measures.


2. Pour the water into a clean rubber bowl first, then add the powder.


3. Mix rapidly with a spatula for about 30-45 seconds until a smooth, creamy consistency is achieved.


4. Work quickly, as alginate sets within 1-2 minutes (depending on water temperature). Cooler water increases working time, while warmer water decreases it.


Always refer to the product’s label for the most accurate instructions!


3. Loading the Tray:


  • Place the mixed alginate into the impression tray. 
  • Impression Making:

  • Insert the tray into the patient’s mouth and hold until the material sets.



5. Removal:

  • Carefully remove the tray and rinse the impression under cold water.



6. Pouring the Cast:


  • Pour dental stone or plaster into the impression immediately to prevent deformation.
