Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics
  • Dental Materials

Background:

  • Traditional implant impression techniques often require multiple steps and materials.
  • This can lead to increased chair time and potential for errors.
  • Existing methods are generally technique-sensitive and time-consuming for clinicians.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a simplified, time-efficient technique for making implant impressions.
  • To combine border molding and functional impression procedures into a single step.
  • To present an alternative to conventional multi-material impression methods.

Main Methods:

  • A combined open-tray and functional impression technique was utilized.
  • Border molding and functional impression were performed simultaneously.

  • A single vinyl polysiloxane impression material was used for both procedures.

    • Main Results:

    • The described technique integrates border molding and functional impression.
    • Simultaneous execution using one material streamlines the process.
    • This approach offers a simpler and more time-efficient clinical alternative.

    Conclusions:

    • A combined impression technique offers a simplified and efficient method for dental implant impressions.
    • Utilizing vinyl polysiloxane for simultaneous border molding and functional impressions reduces procedural complexity.
    • This technique presents a practical alternative for clinicians seeking to optimize impression procedures.
