Materials and Methods: Four Trademarks of alginate were divided in four groups: conventional Jeltrate , Plus Jeltrate , Chromatic Jeltrate and Chromatic Ortho Jeltrate . The alginates were handled following the guidelines of the manufacturers. After this was followed by the construction of evidence bodies using silicone molds of the dimensions of 4 mm in diameter and 4mm in height. After take prey, the evidence bodies were removed from the molds and placed in container with 10 ml of ultra purified water, for 2 min. The fluoride release was measured by selective ion electrode connected to an analyzer of ions. Results: The Plus Jeltrate showed a higher releasing fluoride 247.85 ¦Ìg/cm2) followed by Chromatic Ortho Jeltrate (217.83 ¦Ìg/cm2), Chromatic Jeltrate (138.21 ¦Ìg/cm2) and Jeltrate (79.61 ¦Ìg/cm2). Conclusion: Plus Jeltrate had the best performance in releasing fluoride, followed by Chromatic Ortho Jeltrate , Chromatic Jeltrate and conventional Jeltrate . %K fluoride poisoning %K dental impression materials %K dental materials %U http://www.uesb.br/revista/rsc/v5/v5n1a04.pdf
