IMBIBITION EFFECT OF IMMERSION HYDROCOLLOID IRREVERSIBLE ALGINATE IN SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE SOLUTIO

Abstract

materials have character that absorb water it is imbibition that can affect the dimensional stability when immersed in disinfectant . The purpose of this study is to see the effect of imbibition at alginate impression material immersed in a disinfectant solution of Sodium Hypochlorite .The method used was experimental with pretest and posttest with control group design . The mold were diameter of 28 mm and height 18 mm .the impression were immersed in sodium hypochlorite 0.5 % and 1 % for 3 minutes , 5 minutes and 10 minutes . Imbibition weight calculation is done by using digital scales.The results showed that the presence of imbibition on impression material alginate that immersed in Sodium Hypochlorite solution for 3 minutes , 5 minutes and 10 minutes . Statistical Test Two Way Repeated Measure ANOVA showed a significant difference ( p< 0.05 ) in minutes imbibition , while the concentration of the solution had a significant difference ( p > 0.05 ) .The conclusion of this study is the alginate impression material has the effect of imbibition to immersion Sodium Hypochlorite solution.
