Study on the effect of chlorogenic acid on the antimicrobial effect, physical properties and model accuracy of alginate impression materials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dental impressions are essential for accurately capturing the detailed anatomy of teeth and surrounding oral structures. However, these impressions often become contaminated with saliva and blood, making proper disinfection necessary. The application of chemical disinfectants has been associated with negative side effects, leading to suboptimal disinfection practices in clinical settings.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of chlorogenic acid (CA) as a disinfectant for alginate impression materials, the impact of CA disinfection on the physical properties and dimensional accuracy of alginate impressions was also investigated.

Methods

The physical properties of alginate impression materials, such as elastic recovery, strain
