Q

what are the different elastomeric impression materials? and what is it used for

A

light bodied

Q

list the 3 classifications of impressions and why they are taken

A

preliminary impressions
- creates accurate reproduction of the teeth and surrounding tissues (diagnostic cast/models, custom trays, provisional coverage, ortho appliances)

final impressions
- used to produce exact detail of the teeth and surrounding tissues needed to make indirect cast restos

bite registrations
- used to produce a reproduction of the occlusal relationship of the max and mand teeth when mouth is occluded
