Area of Science:

  • Dental prosthetics
  • Materials science in dentistry

Background:

  • Accurate impressions are crucial for fabricating complete dentures, especially for patients with microstomia.
  • Conventional impression trays can be challenging to use effectively in cases of microstomia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the fabrication of a novel sectional impression tray with a reusable magnetic handle system.
  • To provide a method for improving the accuracy of dental impressions in microstomia patients.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a sectional impression tray using magnets for handle attachment.
  • Development of reusable, sterilizable handles for the sectional tray.
  • Testing the ease of assembly, disassembly, placement, and orientation of the tray segments.

Main Results:

  • The developed sectional impression tray allows for dimensionally accurate impressions.
  • The magnetic handles are reusable and sterilizable, reducing clinical time.
  • The design facilitates easy reassembly, disassembly, placement, and guided orientation of tray segments.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed sectional impression tray with magnetic handles offers a practical solution for obtaining accurate impressions in microstomia patients.
  • This method enhances clinical efficiency through reusable and easily manageable components.
