What is an impression?
3 : a negative likeness or copy in reverse of the surface of an object; an
imprint of the teeth and adjacent structures for use in dentistry -GPT 9
An impression of partially edentulous arch must record accurate
the teeth in anatomic form and surrounding tissues in a
functional form
IMPRESSION MATERIAL

Phillips science of dental materials edition 12
POSITION OF PATIENT AND OPERATOR
Patient position Head and neck are in line with
the trunk. Head is upright, occiput resting firmly
on the headrest of the chair
Operator position Right rear or rear position
Height of the chair Patient’s mouth should be in
level with the operator’s elbow
Patient position Head and neck are in line
with the trunk. Head is upright, occiput
resting firmly on the headrest of the chair
Operator position Right front position
Height of the chair Patient’s mouth should
be in level with the operator’s shoulder

IMPRESSION TRAY SELECTION AND EXTENSION
TRAY
a receptacle into which suitable impression material is placed to make
a negative likeness;
. a device that is used to carry, confine, and control impression
material while making an impression
GPT9
stock tray : a metal or plastic prefabricated impression tray typically
available in various sizes and used principally for preliminary
impressions
GPT9
6
IMPRESSION TRAY SELECTION AND EXTENSION
There should be 5 to 7 mm of space between the internal surfaces of the tray and the
facial surfaces of the teeth and soft tissues
This space is necessary so that in case of undercuts, the impression can spring over the
undercuts.
7
Extending an impression tray
Softened modeling plastic is carefully adapted to the impression tray

major support elastic fibrous connective tissue pad
12
(1) record and relate the tissues under uniform loading,
(2) distribute the load over as large an area as possible
(3) accurately delineate the peripheral extent of the denture base
Therefore, the impression of residual ridge must
13
Factors Influencing Support of the Distal Extension Base
• Quality of soft tissue covering edentulous ridge
• Type of bone in the denture-bearing area
• Design of the prosthesis
• Amount of tissue coverage of denture base
• Anatomy of the denture-bearing area
• Fit of denture base

Methods of functional impression
16
McLean physiologic impression
17
• The need for physiologic impressions was first proposed by McLean and others.
• It is used to record the tissue of residual ridge that support a distal extension of denture base
or its supporting form and as the second impression of arch remainder.
• second impression pick up impression / over impression
Custom tray fabrication with occlusal rims
Pickup impression
Finger pressure needed during pickup impression
PROCEDURE
18
Disadvantages
19
The bite force exerted by the patient cannot
be controlled by the operator. The bite force
need not be same as the masticatory force
The pressure exerted while making the
overimpression need not be the same as the bite
force. Hence difference in displacement.

Disadvantages
21
Dentures made using functional impressions will
constantly pressurize the soft tissues
Dentures made using functional impressions get
occlusally displaced at rest due to tissue
rebounce. This may lead to premature contacts
The functional relining method
22
• It consists of adding a new surface to the intaglio of the denture base.
• The patient must keep the mouth partially open throughout the procedure to permit
appropriate tissue control and the required visual assessment.
metal spacer may be placed on the dental
cast to provide space for a functional reline.
After the denture base has been
processed, the metal spacer is
removed.
23
The modeling plastic
impression is
completed
Modeling plastic is
removed 1mm from the
intaglio surface before
the final impression is
made.
Final impression with free-flowing zinc oxide–eugenol paste or a light-bodied polysulfide rubber base.
24
Disadvantages
25
• Failure to maintain the correct
relationship between the framework and
the abutment teeth during the impression
procedure
• failure to achieve accurate occlusal
contact following the reline procedure.
• It improves the fit of the denture
after bone resorption.
• The tissue surface of the metal
framework can be relined after
insertion
Advantages
Corrected cast procedure for fluid wax
technique
26
• Adding an impression tray
• Correcting peripheral extensions
• Border molding the impression tray
• Relieving the tray and making the impression

IMPRESSION PROCEDURE FOR FLUID WAX TECHNIQUE
29
OBJECTIVES
(1) to obtain maximum extension of the
peripheral borders while not interfering with the
function of movable border tissues,
(2) to record the stress-bearing areas of the ridge
in their functional form
(3) to record non-pressure-bearing areas in their
anatomic form.
The fluid wax impression is made using an
open-mouth technique so that there is less
danger of overdisplacement of the soft
tissues by occlusal or vertical forces
MOST FREQUENTLY USED WAXES
30
Iowa wax
Developed by Dr Earle S. Smith at the University of Iowa,
Korrecta Wax No. 4,
developed by Drs O. C. and S. G. Applegate at the Universities of Michigan and Detroit.
Korrecta Wax No. 4 is slightly more fluid than Iowa wax
• water bath maintained at
51°C to 54°C (125°F to
130°F), into which a container
of the wax is placed
• Fluid wax is painted onto the intaglio
surface of a tray or denture base.
Subsequently, the framework will be
seated in the oral cavity.
completed impression
The impression should be left in the mouth for
12 minutes to ensure that the wax has
completely flowed and released any pressure
that may be present
31
Disadvantages
32
• The wax fluid technique is time consuming. There is needed of accurately
followed timing of procedures.
• The excessive tissue displacement might be result to the impression if the
timing period is not followed properly as mentioned.
Selected pressure impression
33
Advantages- The resorption rate of ridge will be lowered due to the nonstressed relieving areas
• In some patients, the soft tissues covering the ridge will be easily displaced.To obtain more
relief and prevent excessive tissue displacement, holes may be drilled through the
impression tray
• The selected pressure impression technique results in a denture base that is closely
adapted to, and in firm contact with, the tissues covering the buccal shelf area.
• In contrast, the crestal portion of the denture base is lightly adapted to the soft tissues,
resulting in minimal force application.
The mandibular impression tray is selectively reduced
at the ridge crest. This provides additional room for
impression material and minimizes displacement of
the soft tissue
Holes may be placed in the tray to further minimize
the pressures generated during impression
procedures.
34
Preparing the original cast and pouring a corrected
cast (Altered cast technique)
35
• This involves altering only the distal extension part of the master cast after a
functional impression is made of the residual ridges.
• For the functional reline, ridge correction and selective pressure impressions altered
cast technique is used.

. Boxed elastomeric final impression in which
edentulous ridges have been separated with
contoured baseplate wax (A arrows) and sealed to
anatomic contour of impression at base.
Triangular wax bars (arrows) are attached to make
dovetails (three separate compartments of
impression).

46
(1) the edentulous portion can be separated easily,
(2) there is no need to saw the cast or make dovetails for
retention of stone
(3) the edentulous portion can be separated even if cast is
wet, because it is difficult to saw a wet cast
Advantages
The disadvantage of this procedure is that the cast cannot he used with hydrocolloid impression
materials because they require quick pouring of the impression, and the impression cannot be boxed
because it will distort as a result of pressure.

60
Recent Advancements
Digital impression
Digital technology and its application to the design and fabrication of a single
tooth to a complete-arch prosthesis is advancing rapidly
61
. For residual teeth, scanning was performed in a zig-zag fashion, in
the order of the occlusal surface, the buccal surface, and the lingual
surface.
Additionally, for edentulous ridge mucosa, zig-zag scanning was
performed while maintaining continuity of images.

IMPRESSION PROCEDURE FOR FLUID WAX TECHNIQUE 29 OBJECTIVES (1) to obtain maximum extension of the peripheral borders while not interfering with the function of movable border tissues, (2) to record the stress-bearing areas of the ridge in their functional form (3) to record non-pressure-bearing areas in their anatomic form. The fluid wax impression is made using an open-mouth technique so that there is less danger of overdisplacement of the soft tissues by occlusal or vertical forces

Subsequently, the framework will be seated in the oral cavity. completed impression The impression should be left in the mouth for 12 minutes to ensure that the wax has completely flowed and released any pressure that may be present 31
  • 32. Disadvantages 32 • The wax fluid technique is time consuming. There is needed of accurately followed timing of procedures. • The excessive tissue displacement might be result to the impression if the timing period is not followed properly as mentioned.
  • 33. Selected pressure impression 33 Advantages- The resorption rate of ridge will be lowered due to the nonstressed relieving areas • In some patients, the soft tissues covering the ridge will be easily displaced.To obtain more relief and prevent excessive tissue displacement, holes may be drilled through the impression tray • The selected pressure impression technique results in a denture base that is closely adapted to, and in firm contact with, the tissues covering the buccal shelf area. • In contrast, the crestal portion of the denture base is lightly adapted to the soft tissues, resulting in minimal force application.
  • 34. The mandibular impression tray is selectively reduced at the ridge crest. This provides additional room for impression material and minimizes displacement of the soft tissue Holes may be placed in the tray to further minimize the pressures generated during impression procedures. 34
  • 35. Preparing the original cast and pouring a corrected cast (Altered cast technique) 35 • This involves altering only the distal extension part of the master cast after a functional impression is made of the residual ridges. • For the functional reline, ridge correction and selective pressure impressions altered cast technique is used.
