However, post-setting disinfection might compromise the dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties of alginates. Hence, it was the aim of this research to assess the detail reproduction, tear strength, elastic recovery, and surface quality of the gypsum model of newly developed dental alginates with inherent antimicrobial properties. Methods: Three dental alginate groups with antimicrobial alterations were formulated. One group replaced water with 0.2% chlorhexidine solution (CHX group), while the other two utilized water-based extracts of\n                    <jats:italic>Syzygium aromaticum<\/jats:italic>\n                    (\n                    <jats:italic>SA<\/jats:italic>\n                    , clove) or\n                    <jats:italic>Zingiber officinale<\/jats:italic>\n                    (\n                    <jats:italic>ZO<\/jats:italic>\n                    , ginger) to reduce silver nitrate, resulting in two silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)\/extract (clove or ginger) mixture solutions. These mixture solutions were employed for the preparation of dental alginate yielding the\n                    <jats:italic>SA<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009+\u2009AgNP and\n                    <jats:italic>ZO<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009+\u2009AgNPs groups. All modified groups were compared to an unmodified control group that used water for mixing. Elastic recovery, detail reproduction, and tear strength were assessed following the ISO 21563:2021 standard. The surface roughness of plaster models was analysed using the optical profilometer. Elastic recovery was assessed by applying and then releasing load on alginate specimens to measure their ability to recover from deformation. Detail reproduction was evaluated by observing the reproducibility of a 50\u00a0\u03bcm line in a metallic mold using a light microscope, while tear strength was determined by stretching the specimens until failure at a constant speed of 500\u00a0mm\/min. Results: All tested groups exhibited elastic recovery values meeting ISO standards for hydrocolloid impression materials. Regarding detail reproduction, both the control and modified alginates successfully reproduced the 50-\u00b5m line without interruption in all specimens. Tear strength values for all tested groups remained within the acceptable documented ranges, surpassing the minimum requirement of 0.38\u00a0N\/mm as mandated by ISO 21563:2021. The\n                    <jats:italic>ZO<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009+\u2009AgNPs (0.94\u2009\u00b1\u20090.17\u00a0N\/mm) demonstrated significantly higher tear strength values and surface roughness values compared to the other tested groups. Conclusions: Chlorhexidine,\n                    <jats:italic>Syzygium aromaticum<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic>Zingiber officinale<\/jats:italic>\n                    green-synthesized silver nanoparticles are promising, cost-effective alternatives for disinfecting alginate impressions without compromising performance. Green nanoparticle synthesis is a safe, efficient, and non-toxic method, potentially synergizing metal ions with plant extract.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-024-83035-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,16]],"date-time":"2024-12-16T10:09:56Z","timestamp":1734343796000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Assessing the impact of an environmentally friendly approach on irreversible dental hydrocolloid performance"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Leonie","family":"Beuter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christoph","family":"Bourauel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lamia","family":"Singer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"83035_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"5181","DOI":"10.3390\/su14095181","volume":"14","author":"S Saji","year":"2022","unstructured":"Saji, S., Hebden, A., Goswami, P. & Du, C.
