2. Principles of Impression making.
• To cover the MAXIMUM possible
denture supporting AREA.
• To achieve the closest possible
CONTACT with the underlying
epithelium.
• To establish a PERIPHERAL SEAL.

• It records the useful anatomy of the
edentulous mouth so that a model can be
cast on which an accurately fitting special
tray can be made.

36. •Clearance provided for frenum.
•Tray held gently in place.
• Impression tray loaded with
Zinc oxide eugenol.
•Lips and cheek movements to be
done as material sets.

39. Closed mouth techniques.
• The denture has more accurate fit during
mastication.
• Impression material coated at bases of the blocks
and patient told to close in retruted contact
position.
• Patent given small amount of water to rinse.This
captures the normal movements of the surrounding
musculature.
• Material :
– thin zinc oxide eugenol,
– light body silicone.

40. Closed mouth technique.
• Drawbacks of
– Maxillary Disto buccal space is not recorded in
function.
– Viscous impression material can lead to increase in
vertical dimension.
Advantages
• Discrepancies in the jaw relations,
. from points of premature contact
resulting
of the rims are eliminated.
• Masseter muscle can be recorded in
function.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
40
41. Mucodisplasive
• The impression material must be capable of
viscous flow as it is extruded under pressure
from between the tray and the tissue
surface.
• Materials used
– Impression compound
– High viscosity silicones
– Stiff zinc oxide eugenol.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
41
42. Mucostatic.
• Use a very fluid impression material, and
use minimal pressure while it sets.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
42
43. Selective pressure technique.
• It is a combination of extension for
maximum coverage within tissue tolerance
with light pressure or intimate contact with
the movable,loosely attached tissues in the
vestibules.
• The impression is refined with a minimum
of pressure.
