Elastomeric Impression Technique for Complete Denture Impressions
並列摘要
Recent advances in impression materials and stock edentulous impression trays have resulted in simplified approaches to impression making in removable Prosthodontics. Once considered an absolute necessity, it is now possible to avoid the need for custom impression trays. In an effort to achieve reliable master casts in a single appointment, new and innovative procedures are now available. During the fabrication of a complete denture, a double step procedure of making primary and secondary impressions in two appointments in order to achieve a master cast can be a tedious and time consuming procedure. An alternate technique is presented in this article that may be less tedious than the traditional procedures and which reduces the chair side time for the clinician by following all the basic principles of impression making put forth in the history of impression techniques for complete denture fabrication.
