Journal of dentistry·2025

Dental implant impression accuracy was compared between open and closed tray techniques in partially edentulous patients. Both methods demonstrated similar accuracy for adjacent implants, ensuring reliable restorations.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Prosthodontics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Accurate dental impressions are vital for successful long-term dental implant outcomes.
  • Partially edentulous patients often require adjacent implants, necessitating precise impression techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate and compare the accuracy of open and closed implant impression techniques.
  • To assess impression accuracy for two adjacent implants in partially edentulous patients.

Main Methods:

  • Forty patients with Osstem Implants underwent impression procedures using both open and closed tray techniques.
  • Measurements of horizontal distances between impression copings were compared to master casts.
  • Marginal discrepancies were evaluated under a stereomicroscope at 50x magnification.

Main Results:

  • No statistically significant differences in horizontal measurements or marginal relationships were found between open and closed tray techniques.
  • Impression accuracy did not differ significantly between maxillary and mandibular arches.
  • Intraoral horizontal distances closely matched master cast measurements for both techniques.

Conclusions:

  • Open and closed tray impression techniques exhibit comparable accuracy for adjacent implants in partially edentulous patients.
  • The choice between open and closed tray techniques may not significantly impact overall impression accuracy in this context.
