Area of Science:

  • Dental materials science
  • Prosthodontics
  • Laboratory techniques

Background:

  • Impression trays are crucial for dental prosthetics.
  • Existing methods for creating custom holders can be time-consuming or costly.
  • A need exists for an accessible and efficient holder fabrication method.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a detailed, practical method for fabricating custom holders for dental impression trays.
  • To present a technique utilizing readily available materials and office-based procedures.
  • To demonstrate a cost-effective and repeatable approach to holder production.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a custom pattern for the impression tray holder.
  • Creation of a mold from the generated pattern.
  • Processing of acrylic resin parts using the established mold.
  • Production of multiple holders from a single mold.

Main Results:

  • A functional holder for impression trays can be successfully fabricated.
  • The method allows for the efficient production of numerous holders from one mold.
  • The mold exhibits durability, enabling the creation of several holders before requiring replacement.

Conclusions:

  • The described method provides a simple, efficient, and cost-effective way to produce custom impression tray holders.
  • This technique is suitable for implementation in a typical dental office setting.
  • The use of acrylic resin and a reusable mold ensures repeatable and economical production.
