Maxillary Impression Borders–Key Actions
Action #1: Ask the patient to create suction around a finger and the impression tray handle
Action #2: Ask the patient to create suction around a finger, pucker or pooch their lips and produce a maximal smile line
Action #3: Ask the patient to open their mouth wide and then move their mandible side to side to stretch the pterygomandibular raphe and allow the coronoid processes to shape the impression
Action #4: Pinch the patient’s nostrils closed and ask the patient to attempt to blow air through their nose. Make sure that the tongue is held down using a mouth mirror. Mark the hard-soft palate junction.
Action #4: Have the patient pronounce the word “aah” or cough to locate the vibrating line so it can be marked, thereby
identifying the area between the vibrating line and hard palate- soft palate junction
Mandibular Impression Borders–Key Actions
Action #1: Ask the patient to create suction around a finger and
the impression tray handle
Action #2: Pucker or pooch their lips and produce a maximal smile line
Action #3: Pronounce the word “Christmas” and the letters “Q” and “U” & pull the lower lip and cheek superiorly over the
impression tray
Action #4: Place a finger on the top of each side of the
impression tray and ask the patient to close the mandible against resistance using one second intervals of applied force
Action #5: Ask the patient to raise their tongue to the roof of
the mouth, then anterior to vermilion border, and then to the corners of their mouth. Ask patient to swallow (if possible)

Determining VDO
- Physiological Rest Position
- Phonetics
- Closest Speaking Space
- Swallowing
- Tactile perception
- Patient-perceived comfort
