abstract fixed dental prosthesis success requires appropriate impression taking of the prepared finish line. this is critical in either tooth supported fixed prosthesis (crown and bridge) or implant supported fixed prosthesis (solid abutment). if the prepared finish line is adjacent to the gingival sulcus, gingival retraction techniques should be used to decrease the marginal discrepancy among ...

Residual ridge resorption is most commonly seen in the mandible and its prosthodontic management is always a challenge to a general dentist. One of the methods of improving the retention, stability and support of such severly resorbed atrophic mandible is through proper impression technique. This article describes a modied putty wash technique for recording impression of atrophic mandible with...

background numerous factors have an effect on the accuracy of an impression and resultant cast, and these include: impression material, impression technique, tray selection, impression disinfection, storage time of impression before pouring, stone type used for fabrication of cast. up to now, there has been little research conducted on the effect of contact time of a cast with an impression, on...

In this paper, we argue that persuasive technology designers can improve the effectiveness of their design by integrating an impression management mechanism with other persuasive strategies. We illustrate how technologies can be designed to accommodate audience specific self­presentation.

This experiment addressed issues in impression management. First, this study investigated whether type of impression intended (accurate or fabricated) and level of self-monitoring (high or low) affect the amount of information about a target person that individuals would acquire, at some cost to themselves, prior to interacting with that person. As predicted, high self-monitors planning a fabri...

Introduction: The purpose of beading & boxing of an impression is to obtain an accurate cast with proper border & base thickness for fabrication of restorations. Beading is the protection of the formed border thickness of the final impressions & Boxing of an impression is building up vertical walls around it. Aim: The purpose of this hybrid technique of beading and boxing is to produce a smooth...
