Study Notes
- According to the method of fabrication, there are stock trays and custom trays or special trays for making dental impressions.
- Stock trays are ready-made and come in specific sizes, while custom trays are fabricated based on a particular patient's cast.
- Stock trays are reusable after sterilization, while custom trays are unique to the patient and discarded.
- Stock trays serve to carry impression material to the mouth and support it during polymerization. They are available in different materials and sizes.
- Factors affecting selection of stock trays include the type of mouth, type of impression material, size of the arch, and the form of the arch.
- Custom trays are made from a cast recovered from primary impression and used to make a final impression. They are more accurate and comfortable for the patient.
- Custom trays can be made of metallic or non-metallic materials, such as cold cure acrylic resin, hot cure acrylic resin, or light cure acrylic resin.
- The material choice for custom trays depends on various factors such as fabrication time, material properties, and hazardous effects.
- Close-fit trays are directly adapted to the cast, while spacer and stop trays use a wax spacer to provide extra space for impression material with higher viscosity.
- Criteria for special tray construction include not impinging on movable structures, extending borders beyond the vestibular sulcus, and ensuring sufficient rigidity and thickness.
