Edentulous Impression Technique
Speaker: Joseph Massad, DDS
The history of making impressions has been the basis of most prosthodontic reservations. Even with the advancement of the Scan-Cad, movable prosthodontics will require exquisite impressions to scan. Scanning all the movements both functionally and statically will require an impression. This presentation will present a layering impression method utilizing several viscosities to accomplish both the functional and mucostatic properties required for proper removable prosthesis. The method will describe a one appointment procedure delivering superior detail of both hard and soft tissues.
Educational objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to achieve the following:
- Understand why using multiple viscosity impression materials can yield ideal edentulous impressions.
- Understand the difference between a functional and mucostatic impression.
- Eliminate the two-appointment impression to one appointment with equal or better quality.
- Understand why letting the patient mimic their facial movements produces an accurate peripheral role.
