Impression materials can act as a medium for cross infection. To prevent cross infection many products are being developed. Among them 0.5% Sodium hypochlorite and 2% Glutaraldehyde are considered effective. This study was done to asses the efficacy of 0.5% Sodium hypochlorite and 2% Glutaraldehyde on irreversible hydrocolloid impression material.
