[0002] Dental impressions generally refer to impressions of oral tissues used to reflect the condition of the soft and hard tissues in the mouth, and are widely used in the field of denture fabrication. Commonly used impression materials are divided into elastic impression materials and non-elastic impression materials based on whether the impression has elasticity after shaping. Elastic impression materials include agar, alginate, silicone rubber, etc., while non-elastic impression materials include impression paste, impression wax, clay, etc.

[0003] Alginate impression materials are a popular choice in the field of dental restoration due to their excellent ceramic-like properties and biocompatibility. However, they are sensitive to environmental temperature and humidity. In high-temperature and high-humidity environments, the impression may discolor, soften, and become distorted, leading to errors in subsequent model pouring and increasing discomfort when wearing the prosthesis. Furthermore, obtaining dental impressions typically takes place in hospitals or dental clinics, while prosthesis fabrication occurs in factories. This process involves the storage and transportation of dental impressions, and the lack of protection can easily cause them to deform under pressure or even break, affecting the processing and fabrication of the prosthesis.
