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.
