    Study Notes

    Definitions and Concepts in Dentistry

    • An impression in dentistry is a negative representation of the contours of teeth and surrounding tissues, used to create accurate models for dental procedures.

    Types of Impression Materials

    • Common types of impression materials include:
      • Alginate: A hydrophilic material used for preliminary impressions.
      • Polysulfide: Offers high accuracy, often used for final impressions.
      • Polyether: Known for precision and stability.
      • Silicone: Available in two types (addition-cure and condensation-cure) for different clinical needs.

    Types of Impressions

    • Two main types of impressions are:
      • Preliminary Impressions: Used to create study models for treatment planning.
      • Final Impressions: Required for fabricating restorations, dentures, or appliances with high accuracy.

    RPD Definition

    • RPD stands for Removable Partial Denture, a prosthetic device designed to replace one or more missing teeth in a partially edentulous arch while being removable by the patient.

    Functional Support in Impressions

    • The purpose of obtaining functional support for the distal extension base in special impression techniques is to ensure effective distribution of occlusal forces and enhance the stability of the prosthesis during function, restraining movement and maximizing comfort for the patient.
