Study Notes
Conventional Impression Technique
- Records the resting form of the ridge without occlusal load.
- Uses soft or less viscous alginate impression material.
- Suitable for tooth-supported partial dentures (Kennedy Class III and IV).
- Not recommended for free-end saddle dentures due to potential tissue ward movement.
- Not to be used with stock impression trays.
Metallic Oxide Pastes
- Can be used as secondary impression materials for complete dentures.
- Used for extension base edentulous areas with custom acrylic impression trays.
- Trays must be properly designed and attached to the partial denture framework.
- Need to be poured within 15 minutes after removal from the mouth to prevent volume change.
Hydrocolloid Exudates
- Have a retarding effect on gypsum products, resulting in a chalky cast surface.
Impression Making Tips
- When making a maxillary impression, place the material in the highest aspect of the palate and over the rugae.
- Use a mouth mirror or index finger to retract the cheek on the side away from you while rotating the tray into the mouth.
- Avoid tray movement during gelation to prevent internal stresses and an inaccurate impression.
- Do not allow the patient or an assistant to hold the tray in position.
