title: Dimensional stability of alginate impressions immersed in disinfecting solutions.
abstract: The stability of full-arch alginate impressions that had been immersed in one of two disinfecting solutions was assessed by measuring stone casts poured from the alginate impressions. Statistically significant dimensional changes occurred, when compared with master casts, but only by 1 mm or less, a clinically insignificant amount.
