Structures that must be captured in impression for RDP:
teeth, residual ridges,
Factors to be considered when making an impression
materiall, technique
Most common reason for lack of accuracy of impression:
distortion of material
Tray for 1’ impression:
stock
How to get functional form for RPD:
pour up as master cast, send to lab, framework comes back, another impression of distal extended area,
Step for impression making for RPD:
stock tray: diagnostic impression, dx cast, custom tray: secondary impression, master cast prep, corrected impression when indicated in distal extension RPF
Pt positioning for alginate impressions:
upright, occlusal plane parallel to the floor
Where to stand for mandibular impressions;
to R and infront of pt
Where to stand for maxillary impressions:
to R and behind pt
4 types of stock impression trays for dentate and partially edentulous arches:
non-perforated or plastic, perforated metal or plastic
Clearance needed for maxillary or mandibular trays:
4-5mm facial and lingual
How thick should the alginate be?
4-5mm
What to tell pt when taking max impression:
relax your jaw
How to modify impression trays:
wax or modeling plastic
The tray should cover these landmarks in the max arch:
tuberosities, vibrationg line
This may need to be extended to get the retromolar pad in the retromylohyoid region:
lingual flange, esp for distal extended RDP
Ideal temp for mixing alginate:
70F
Have pt do this while mixing alginate:
rinse with water
How to impress the anterior vestibule an get all anterior teeth:
