........for sending to the dental laboratory.

All impressions should go through a standard disinfection process before sending to the dental laboratory.

The impression is laid upon the middle of a wet paper towel.

Left and right aspects of the wet paper towel are then folded over the impression and the towel formed around the alginate impression.

The alginate impression is then placed into a sealable bag and sealed as shown. N.B. No extra water is added to the sealable bag as this may be absorbed by the alginate impression material and distort the impression.
