Abstract:
Intraoral digital scanning of edentulous arches has provided the dental profession with the ability to obtain genuinely mucostatic impressions. The drawback, because of the omission of border molding procedures, has been underextended flanges which might affect the retention and stability of the definitive prosthesis. A technique for combining the concept of registering the polished surfaces with a functional impression material and the intraoral digital mucostatic scanning workflow is described.
