Area of Science:

  • Dental prosthetics
  • Implant dentistry
  • Oral rehabilitation

Background:

  • Accurate impressions are crucial for fabricating well-fitting implant-supported prostheses.
  • Conventional impression techniques can present challenges in capturing precise details of edentulous arches and implant components.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel procedure for border correction and impression fabrication in edentulous arches.
  • To evaluate the accuracy of the master cast generated using this technique, focusing on soft tissue detail and implant component positioning.

Main Methods:

  • A specific procedure involving careful border correction and impression fabrication was developed.
  • Pick-up impression technique was utilized for implant impression copings.
  • Master cast fabrication followed the impression procedure.
