A combination impression and occlusal registration technique for extension-base removable partial dentures

The ultimate goal of a prosthodontic service is the placement and maintenance of prostheses which are in biologic and functional harmony with the supporting tissues and remaining teeth. The combination impression and occlusal registration technique minimizes clinical and technical procedures which might introduce errors. If accurately managed, this technique will provide optimum occlusion and mucosal support for extension-base removable partial dentures.
