A loading impression technique for semiprecision and precision removable partial dentures

Abstract

The rationale of designing a seimprecision or precision distal-extension removable partial denture and the justification of ridge loading in distal-extension ridge impression techniques have been presented. The effectiveness of existing impression techniques in securing firm seats for abutment castings, accurate border extension of the denture base, and loading of the ridge mucosa has been evaluated. A technique has been described that overcomes the limitations of existing impression techniques for semiprecision and precision distal-extension removable partial dentures.
