UNLABELLED Production of exemplary crowns and fixed partial dentures depends upon the usage of impression material and its technique of usage that accurately reproduces prepared teeth and their relationship to the adjacent oral structure. AIM To evaluate the linear dimensional accuracy of the elastomeric impressions using various impression techniques using different combinations of viscositi...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to evaluate the topographic relationship between the morphology of the greater tubercle and the insertion of the tendon of the infraspinatus. MATERIALS AND METHODS First, we defined an impression of the greater tubercle, which has not been recognized in classic textbooks, as the "lateral impression" and then measured the dimensions of the "lateral im...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Various implant impression techniques, such as the splint, pick-up, and transfer techniques, have been introduced, and some techniques may be more accurate than others. Also, clinically, some factors, including the angulation or depth of implants, may affect the accuracy of the implant impressions. PURPOSE The purposes of this review were to: (1) investigate the accuracy ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to evaluate the appropriate impression technique by analyzing the superimposition of 3D digital model for evaluating accuracy of conventional impression technique and digital impression. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four patients who had no periodontitis or temporomandibular joint disease were selected for analysis. As a reference model, digital impressions wi...

A fibrous or flabby ridge is a superficial area of mobile soft tissue affecting the maxillary or mandibular alveolar ridges. Restoration of such ridges often requires special consideration in impression making. Masticatory forces can displace this mobile denture-bearing tissue, leading to altered denture positioning and loss of peripheral seal. Forces exerted during the act of impression making...

With the Covid-19 pandemic, public officials in Indonesia were prone to making inaccurate claims and enacting policies that might have overlooked due a lack of understanding complex situations. However, after these mistakes, needed restore their reputation create positive impression. This study aimed investigate impression management strategies employed by Indonesian following such incidents. T...

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the dimensional accuracy of stone models made by addition silicone impression material using three puttywash impression techniques: one step putty wash (dual viscosity), two step and modified two step putty wash technique. Material and Methods: A stainless steel master model was constructed simulating a three-unit fixed prosthesi...
