Tips for a successful impression

A good impression is not only the first stage in the fabrication process but also the prerequisite for a high-quality prosthetic restoration. The precision and accuracy of detail of the impression are crucial in determining the accuracy of fit and aesthetic quality of a fixed restoration.

Here are the basic recommendations

Read the Manufacturer’s instructions in the instructions for use: it may sound obvious, but some materials require special preparation, handling or conditioning; this applies in particular if you are using a material for the first time. Adhere to use-by-date: after the use-by-date, materials may no longer react in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Avoid contaminating the material: if moisture and blood come into contact with hydrophobic materials, it can repel the impression material and cause voids and inaccuracies.

Use the correct type of impression tray and correctly fitting tray

problems can arise if the tray is too small, so it may come into contact with the patient’s teeth or oral tissue during insertion or withdrawal, also if the tray is too soft to support the type of material selected.

Use the appropriate tray adhesive: Maximum precision can only be attained by using a tray adhesive. This ensures that the impression material is retained on the tray during setting and removal from the patient’s mouth. Adhere to the Manufacturer’s recommended working and setting times: A precise impression can only be attained if all the material has been syringed and the impression tray inserted before the end of the working time. The impression must then be held securely in the same position and stabilized until the material sets.

Select the perfect material for aesthetically demanding cases.
