Objective. Anecdotal evidence suggests that impression materials and techniques used in general dental practice for fixed partial dentures vary from those taught in dental schools. The aim of this survey was to integrate impression techniques evolved all over the years for fixed partial dentures and to know the techniques and materials which are used in the present day by the practitioners. Mat...

Gingival retraction or dilation is an important procedure in the fabrication of fixed prostheses. Quite often, the margins of these restorations are placed very close to the gingival margin, or even subgingivally, for aesthetic and functional reasons. Therefore, the operating surgeon must correctly record the prepared cervical finish line to enable adequate marginal integrity for the restoratio...

The objective of this study is to evaluate techniques of impression for crowns and bridges sent to commercial laboratories from private practitioners. A number of 156 impressions for dental crown and bridges were examined. The most widely used impression technique is segmental dual arch with two different consistency condensation cured silicone impression material.

Cast framework for osseointegrated implant retained prostheses need to be passively fitting so as not to place undue forces and stress concentrations around the fixtures. Impression materials and techniques play a key role in the accuracy and fit of the metal framework. In this study, three impression procedures were investigated to establish which was the most accurate, reliable and predictabl...
