Abstract

Objective: Objective of this study was to compare mean dimensional measurement of alginate impression using disinfectants, sodium hypochlorite and gluteraldehyde + benzalkonium chloride.

Material and Methods: Sampling technique was non-probability consecutive. This study was conducted in the Prosthodontic Department, Sardar Begum Dental College and Hospital, Peshawar from 3rd February 2012 to 3rd August 2012. Alginate impressions were recorded from 72 edentulous patients who were randomly allocated into two groups, A and B by lottery method. Impressions from patients in group A was subjected to immersion disinfection with Gluteraldehyde + benzalkonium chloride( Sterigum) while Alginate impressions obtained from patients in group B was subjected to disinfection with Sodium hypochlorite (Haq chemicals). Impressions were poured with Type III dental stone. Post disinfection measurements were recorded in anteroposterior and mediolateral dimensions.

Results: Results revealed that there was no significant difference in the anteroposterior dimension of casts of both groups (p value=0.091) however, there was statistically significant difference in the mediolateral dimension between the casts of the groups A and B(p value=0.000).

Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that no preference can be given to any disinfectant from dimensional stability point of view.
