Purpose
Impression is used to modify master cast More accurate relationship between abutments & ridge Equalize stress between ridge and abutments Correct peripheral adaptation
When Needed
Framework most likely adjusted Class I & II - relationship most N.B. Extensive Class III & IV cases Tooth mobility + compressible mucosa Less necessary in maxilla
Impression Technique
Well Fitting Framework Place relief over ridge
1 mm wax relief Separator (Alcote) Heat and fully seat framework
Check Seating
If not seated, remove, repeat
Rests fully seated Tissue stop contacts cast Metal adjacent abutment contacts cast No resistance as framework seated
Check Peripheries
2-3 mm short of vestibular No displacement when:
Pull on cheeks, lips Patient activates tongue
Border Mold
Simulate final denture border
Carefully load tray No material under rests, g.p.s, max. major connector, etc. Seat with pressure over rests
Send to Laboratory
Lab Steps
Section residual ridge from cast Ensure no contact between impression & cast Place retentive grooves in cast Sticky wax in place
Lab Steps
Box impression Ensure water tight seal Seal retainer, major & minor connector borders Pour new ridge areas in different color stone
Acrylic resin
Harder to remove More rigid and stable for jaw relation
Centric Record
Maxilla to mandible position
Protrusive Record
Program articulator for excursions
