Residual ridge resorption is a chronic, progressive, irreversible and cumulative disease. Stability defined as resistance to horizontal displacement of prosthesis. Providing stable lower denture has been challenging for dentists. This article outlines the management mandibular with dynamic impression technique. complete dentures challenged dentists patients alike. Dynamic technique clinically s...

Background: In bilateral partial edentulous condition modified Mc Lean’s Impression technique is most commonly advised, this over impression procedure may be time consuming clinically and possible errors too can be induced while recording. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy ofsingle custom tray using medium body elastomeric impression material overmodified Mc Lean’s impress...

Introduction: This clinical case aimed at showing the designing procedure for Removable Partial Denture (RPD) framework from an optical impression. The patient presented partially edentulous mandibular arch (Kennedy Class III) where RPD was planned for economic reasons. Optical impression was chosen due to the presence of a strong gag reflex and a small mouth opening. The impression was then se...

Background: The ideal teeth arrangement is an important step for success in complete denture fabrication. There are different methods for determining the posterior denture teeth location. The purpose of this study was the comparison of posterior mandibular teeth location in the study group with Pound or Misch theory. Material and methods: An alginate mandibular impression of 80 dentate patients...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the inter-operator reproducibility of three-dimensional (3D) images of teeth captured by a digital impression technique to a conventional impression technique in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twelve participants with complete natural dentition were included in this study. A digital impression of the mandibular molars of these participant...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare two impression techniques from the perspective of patient preferences and treatment comfort. METHODS Twenty-four (12 male, 12 female) subjects who had no previous experience with either conventional or digital impression participated in this study. Conventional impressions of maxillary and mandibular dental arches were taken with a polyether...

background: accurate impression making is an essential prerequisite for achieving a passive fi t between the implant and the superstructure. the aim of this in vitro study was to compare the three-dimensional accuracy of open-tray and three closed-tray impression techniques. materials and methods: three acrylic resin mandibular master models with four parallel implants were used: biohorizons (b...
