title: Check bite impressions using irreversible alginate/reversible hydrocolloid combination.
abstract: A restoration that the patient reports as "high" is a common problem for the restorative dentist. Check bite, dual bite, or closed mouth impressions address this problem effectively by eliminating the opposing arch impression and articulating the opposing cast accurately. In this article a procedure that combines irreversible hydrocolloid and reversible hydrocolloid results in a rapid, clean, and effective solution.
