ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to improving the disinfection of dental impressions following removal from the patient's mouth and before entering the dental laboratory to prevent contamination. It involves the use of a pH-adjusted hypochlorite solution, which is highly effective in killing microorganisms, and also relatively inexpensive. Using the solution of the instant invention for disinfection causes no damage to the impression, no loss of accuracy, and does not destroy the details on the impression surface.
