Determining the error rate of the alginate molding and dental stone casting procedures. (A) A total of 21 rats underwent the alginate molding procedure, with several rats examined at multiple time points. (B) Then 1 to 3 alginate molds were made per time point for each rat; multiple alginate molds made on the same day of the same rat were used to test the reproducibility of the molding procedure. The negative impression left by the tumor in each alginate mold is indicated with an arrow. (C) From each alginate mold, 1 to 3 dental stone casts were made; multiple dental stone casts of each tumor were used to test the reproducibility of the casting procedure.
