My 2 cents : operators struggling to take good impressions should start from slow setting alginate to master the technique.
Then progress to regular set and finally fast setting alginate .

I had impression made on the back of my teeth for my partials clasps. If I decide to get implants, can those impressions on the back of my teeth be fixed?

So how much time do you have before putting in the mouth. Does smoothing with water keep it workable

[marylhere]

Have the patient sit up during taking impressions and especially bite registrations.
