Dental alginate was used to take these accurate impressions, which also captures the role border (vestibule) and third molars (wisdom teeth). And a polyvinyl material was used to record Gesta's construction bite registration. According to mouthguard expert, Mr. Ryan D. Salazar, RDAEF, "alginate impressions (teeth molds) are the most practical dental material to use when taking teeth molds (impressions) for athletes participating in full contact sports, with no head protection, like professional boxing. The clinical technique required when taking alginate impressions for patient-athletes in full contact sports is different compared to taking impressions for whitening trays, nightguards (TMJ splints), retainers, etc."
