Impression technique for complete maxillary immediate denture

Area of Science:

• Dental Prosthetics
• Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

• Accurate impressions are crucial for fabricating well-fitting complete maxillary immediate dentures.
• Traditional impression techniques can be challenging for areas with both edentulous spaces and remaining natural teeth.

Purpose of the Study:

• To describe a novel technique for obtaining complete maxillary immediate denture impressions.
• To simplify the impression procedure for complex oral conditions.

Main Methods:

• A sectional impression technique was developed for the edentulous ridges and remaining dentition.
• Impressions were taken in separate sections and then assembled.

Main Results:

• The described technique allows for the successful capture of impressions for both edentulous areas and remaining teeth.
• The sectional impressions can be accurately joined after removal from the mouth.

Conclusions:

• This sectional impression technique offers a viable method for complete maxillary immediate denture fabrication.
• The procedure may enhance the accuracy and ease of impression making in challenging clinical scenarios.
