    Impressions for fixed partial dentures

    Dr.K.Vaishali
    Introduction To obtain an impression is the first step necessary for fabrication of a prosthesis. An acceptable impression must be an exact negative replica of the prepared tooth. The impression should reproduce the critical area where tooth and restoration meet so that the restoration can be correctly contoured. All teeth or tissues immediately surrounding the prepartion must be reproduced in the impression. the indirect

    The properties of ideal impressions are

    1 Complete plasticity before cure 2 Sufficient fluidity to record fine detail. 3 The ability to wet the oral tissues. 4 Dimensional accuracy. 5 Dimensional stability. 6 Complete elasticity after cure. 7 Optimal stiffness.

    The impression materials used in fixed partial denture construction include; 1) Hydrocolloid impression material a) Reversible hydrocolloid 2) Elastomeric impression materials Polysulfide Addition silicone

    Condensation silicone Polyether

    Impression techniques

    1. Stock tray technique double mix single mix 2.Custom tray technique single mix 3.Closed bite double arch technique 4.Copper band technique 5.Reversible hydrocolloid technique

    Custom Tray Fabrication for Elastomeric Impression

    Custom tray is made from autopolymerizing acrylic resin or vacuum formed thermoplastic resin. Tray rigidity is important for even slight flexing of the tray will lead to distorted impressions. Resin thickness of 2 or 3mm is needed to give adequate rigidity. Clearance between the tray and the teeth should be 2 to 3mm however greater clearance is needed for material. the more rigid polyether

    Procedure:

    1)Mark the border of the tray on the diagnostic cast with a pencil approximately 5mm apically to crest of the free gingiva. 2)Adapt a wax space to the diagnostic cast two layers for 2.5mm thickness approximately. 3)Apply a layer of tinfoil over the wax. 4)Mix autopolymerizing acrylic resin according to manufacturers recommendation 5)Adapt the resin to the cast when in dough stage. 6)After the material has polymerized ,remove it from the cast and trim with an acrylic trimming bur.

    Putty wash Method

    Double mix and single mix. Stock trays can also be used with medium and heavy bodied elastomers normally used with custom trays.

    Advantages: 1) Eliminates time and expense of fabricating custom trays. 2) Metal stock trays are rigid and are not susceptible to distortion.

    Disadvantages: 1) More impression material is required 2) Metal tray must be sterilized Technique: A trays is selected based on shape and size of the patients arch. Prepare the Stock Tray. Coat the tray evenly with adhesive on the inside. Mix the high viscosity putty impression material according to manufactures instruction. Roll putty into elongated cylinder. Insert into the stock impression tray. Cover putty with the spacer (a sheet of polyethylene) . Insert and seat the tray with a rocking type of motion. Hold and wait until initial set (approximately 2min). Remove from the mouth with minimal side ward movement Wait and test for final set. When the impression rebound completely. Peel of the spaces. Remove excess impression material with a sharp knife.

    Making the final impression.

    Mix the low viscosity impression material according to the manufactures instructions . Load the low viscocity impression material on to a syringe . Syringe the inaccessible area first eg disto lingual line angle . For the stock tray double mix insert the low viscocity impression material into the tray without overfilling it.

    For stock tray single mix technique the unset high viscocity material should already be in the tray and the preparation syringed with low viscocity impression material. Seat the tray . Wait for the final set. Remove the tray parallel to the preparation path of withdrawal. The impression is evaluated for the finish lines and for any distortion and tear.

    Custom tray method

    Mixing method-single mix Advantages . Less impression material is required than stock tray. The tray is used only once so sterilization is not a problem. Less distortion of the impression .

    Disadvantages Constructon of the custom tray is time consuming . The tray should age for 24 hours to minimize distortion

    Making the final impression.

    Medium or high viscosity is used in the tray and low viscosity in the syringe. The low viscosity material is mixed first then the high viscosity material. The syringe is loaded with the low viscosity material and syringed in the prepared site.

    The high viscosity material is placed in the custom tray and seated in the mouth. The impression is removed and evaluated.

    Close

    bite

    double

    arch

    method.

    Synonyms: dual quad tray, double arch, triple arch ,accu -bite ,closed mouth impression.

    Requirements The articulator should provide for a positive stop or there should be sufficient teeth to maintain the vertical dimension. There should be sufficient space distal to the terminal tooth in the arch to allow tray approximation.

    Advantages The physical deformation of the mandible is minimal The shifting of teeth occurring during maximum intercuspation is captured. Less impression material is needed. Less gagging may occur.

    Disadvantages The tray is not rigid. Limited to one casting per quadrant. The distribution of impression material is not uniform.

    Technique Evaluate the fit of the tray in the patients mouth. Observe the complete bilateral closure and the patients comfort.

    Practice till the patient is familiar with the task.

    Making the final impression Mix the low viscosity material and load the syringe The high viscosity material is used in the tray. After the low viscosity material is syringed the tray is positioned on the arch. Instruct the patient to close the mouth and observe for the interdigitation on the opposite arch. Wait for the material to set. Instruct the patient to open the mouth remove the tray by applying equal pressure bilaterally. Evaluate the impression.

    Copper band or tube method The copper band is used to salvage an impression of multiple preparation where there is only vague margins on one or two preparation that are not adequately replicated in the impression.

    Fitting of the copper band to preparation A copper band is selected and annealed by heating on a flame and quenching in alcohol. Mark the finish line with the explorer and round off the edges. Evaluate the fit and cut orientation hole in top one fifth of the facial surface.

    Making the compound plug The red stick compound is heated over the Bunsen flame . Insert the warm compound mass to fill approximately the top third of the copper band.

    Seat and orient on to preparation, and compress excess in to the band. The compound should just touch the occlusal surface. Remove and evaluate the impression, only the occlusal surface should be impressed. Remove 0.2mm of the compound to create space for the heavy body poly vinyl silicone. Drill a hole through the centre of the compound plug.

    Making the impression.

    Make 4to 5 holes evenly distributed above the bottom of the copper tube for the retention of the impression material. Coat the internal surface sparingly with adhesive . Clean and isolate the preparation. Mix heavy viscosity material and inject in to the band and position it on the tooth. Wait the material to set remove the band and inspect the impression.

    Reversible hydrocolloid technique

    This impression technique requires

    a special conditioning unit which

    consists of 3 thermostatically controlled water baths. 1. A liquefaction bath . 2.A storage bath . 3.A tempering bath.

    Procedure

    Select the correct size of water cooled impression trays. Place small modeling compound or prefabricated stops in the tray to

    prevent overseating . Fill the impression tray with heavy bodied material from the storage bath and place it in the tempering bath Load the syringe material in the syringe and replace it in the storage bath. Carefully remove the retraction cord and flood the tooth with water. Inject the syringe material on the tooth cover the entire tooth. Remove the impression tray from the bath wipe with the guaze and place it in the mouth. After seating cold water is circulated through the tray until the impression material is set. Remove the impression with a rapid motion, wash with cold water ,evaluate for accuracy.

    Summary A good impression is an exact replica of each prepared tooth and should include adequate amount of the unprepared surfaces adjacent to the

    margin.impression technique and material should be selected on the basis of biologic factor dictated by the anatomy and the physiology of the mouth dictated by the oral facial tissues .even though there are innumerable techniques and procedure for impression making ,it is the responsibility of the dentist to select the best possible procedure based on sound knowledge , for achieving the best possible result for the patient.
