[Impression technics in complete removable dentures]
Abstract
The main objective of a complete removable denture is to re-establish the function and aesthetics that lead to an acceptable soft tissue as well as psychologic integration. The fabrication of complete removable denture is a rather complex procedure being composed of several clinical and laboratory steps. All these steps are interdependant and governed by a certain level of empirism. The impression taking, the first part of the procedure, is crucial for the success of the whole prosthetic rehabilitation. The aim of this article is to describe in detail the impression taking procedures for complete removable dentures, in order to help solve a number of pitfalls encountered in daily clinical practice.
