Area of Science:

Dental materials science and restorative dentistry.

Background:

Accurate indirect restorations rely on precise dental impressions.
The putty and wash technique with elastomeric materials is widely used.

Observation:

Existing methods can present challenges in capturing multiple preparations simultaneously.
A need exists for enhanced predictability in multi-tooth impression registration.

Findings:

A modified putty and wash impression technique is presented.
This technique ensures predictable registration of multiple tooth preparations in a single dental arch impression.

Implications:

This modified technique can improve the efficiency and accuracy of indirect restorative workflows.
Enhanced impression accuracy leads to better-fitting restorations and improved patient outcomes.
The technique offers a valuable addition to the armamentarium for dental practitioners seeking predictable results.
