The Alginate Impressions Course trains clinical team members in a system for producing excellent alginate impressions in a practice. Evaluation of the patient, selection of the best impression tray, proper mixing of alginate impression materials including dimensionally stable materials, proper impression technique, control of the gag reflex, evaluation of the quality of the impression, and problem solving are covered in detail.
