Study Notes

Impression Trays in Dentistry

Impression trays are used to accurately capture the shape and position of teeth and oral tissues.
They act as carriers for impression materials and provide stability during the setting process.
Common types include stock trays, custom trays, and bite registration trays.
Custom trays are fabricated from acrylic or resin materials on a model of the patient's mouth.
Bite registration trays record the occlusal surfaces of the upper and lower arches to accurately position casts.
Impression trays are crucial for creating accurate replicas of teeth and oral structures, essential for dental procedures.

Impression Materials

Impression materials capture the tooth and gum structure in a hardened form.
Non-elastic materials like Impression Plaster, wax, and zinc oxide eugenol are primarily used for complete denture impressions, as they do not require flexibility.
Impression materials are chosen based on their working time, setting time, stiffness, and tear strength.
Elastic materials like silicones, polyethers, and hydrocolloids are used for various impressions, including single tooth, partial, and complete dentures.
