Editor's Notes

  • #5: The most very first step… And can be told as one of the important step in beautiful fabrication of removable dental prosthetic for completely edentulous jaws is primary impression making. Good removable prosthesis can’t be happened… If there is no adequate denture bearing area. Good removable prosthesis can’t be happened… If there is no full functional depth of fornex vestibule. Good removable prosthesis can’t be happened… If there is… Good removable prosthesis can’t… Also there were… and there are many faults that make ugly, worse and worthless impression. Among these, some commonly occur faults will be presented
