11. It record tooth and tissue details
accurately but it cannot be removed from
the mouth without fracture.
12. Plaster of paris
It have been used in dentistry for over 200 years but now
elastic materials completely replaced it.
Metallic oxide past
Not used as primary impression materials
Used for extension base edentulous ridge areas for RPD

18. 1- Anatomic ridge form:
for tooth suppoted R.P.D. (Kenedy‘s class
III, short span class IV)
so the edentulous ridges don´t
contribute to the support of the R.P.D.
Single, pressure-free imp. records the
teeth and soft tissues in their
anatomic form .
Impression Techniques
19. 2-Physiologic or functional ridge form:
for tooth- tissue supported R.P.D.
(Kenedy‘s class I,II,long span class IV)
When the occlusal forces fall on tooth-
tissue supported R.P.D., the ridge
contribute to support as well as teeth
This imp. recordteeth in their anatomic
form and the ridge in its functional form
under pressure.
Impression Techniques
20. The objectives of technique is :
to provide maximum support for the
removable partial denture bases. This
allows for:
1. maintenance of occlusal contact
between both natural and artificial
dentition
2. minimum movement of the base,
which would create leverage on the
abutment teeth.
21. 1- Quality of soft tissues covering edentulous ridge
2- Type of bone making up denture bearing area
3- Design of partial denture
4- Amount of tissue coverage of denture base:
5- Amount of occlusal forces
6- Anatomy of denture bearing area:
7- Fit of denture base:
8. Type and accuracy of the impression registration:
22. 1- Quality of soft tissues covering
edentulous ridge
It should be firm, dense fibrous C.T. of even thickness
slightly compressible and firmly attached to the bone
Factors influencing support from
distal extension bases
23. 2- Type of bone making up denture bearing
area:
The ideal ridge would consist of:
Cortical bone that covers dense
Cancellous bone with broad rounded
crest and high vertical slops.
Cortical bone can resist vertical forces better than
cancellous bone.
Factors influencing support from distal extension
bases (factors influencing the amount of tissue
displacement
24. 3- Design of partial denture:
The use of indirect retainer will control
rotational movement of distal extension RPD.
Factors influencing support
from distal extension bases
25. 4- Amount of tissue coverage of denture
base:
The broader the coverage of the
edentulous ridge, the greater the
distribution of the load & the smaller the
force per unit area
Factors influencing support
from distal extension bases
26. 5- Amount of occlusal forces:
1- Number of artificial teeth.
2-Width of the occlusal table.
3- type of the opposing dentition
4-powerfull musculature of the patient
It influences the amount of support required to
stabilize the denture base..
Factors influencing support
from distal extension bases
27. 6- Anatomy of denture bearing area:
To distribute the forces of mastication to
the ridge most efficiently, the majority of
force must be directed to the primary
stress bearing areas, that are capable of
withstanding that force.
Factors influencing support
from distal extension bases
28. 7- Fit of denture base:
Support is enhanced by intimate contact
between the mucosa and the fitting surface of
the partial denture;
8. Type and accuracy of the impression
registration
29. which records the ridge portion of the cast in
its physiologic or functioning form by placing
an occlusal load on the impression tray as the
impression is being made.
3-Selective tissue placement
impression technique.
30. At the imp. stage:
Mclean´s and Hindel´s methods = dual imp. Technique =
pseudo-functional imp. or
Impressions with custom trays.
At the framework stage:
Altered cast method either by functional imp.method
At the finished denture stage:
Functional relining method using fluid wax or zinc oxide
euginol or rubber base relining method.
Impression for distal
extension R.P.D.
31. 1- At the imp. stage:
McLean‘s technique (closed mouth)
The technique consists of making an impression of the
edentulous ridge in border-moulded denture base tray
which is provided with occlusion rims.
Impression paste is used to record ridge areas under
biting stresses
After setting of ZnO eugenol it is removed, tested,
reinserted; overall alginate impression is made with the
ZnO imp.seated in the mouth.
Imp. for Dis. Ex. R.P.D.
32. 1- At the imp. stage:
Hindle‘s technique (opened mouth)
the same idea of McLean‘s
technique but instead of the
occlusion rims, use finger pressure
through 2 circular openings in the
posterior region of the
hydrocolloid imp. Tray.
Imp. for Dis. Ex. R.P.D.
33.
34. 1- At the imp. stage:
Disadvantages
If the clasp action is sufficient to maintain the
denture base in its intended position, This may
result in compromised blood flow with adverse
soft tissue reaction and bone resorption.
If clasp action is not sufficient to maintain that
functional relationship of the denture base to the
soft tissue, this will result in floating denture with
premature contact and patient dissatisfaction.
Imp. for Dis. Ex. R.P.D.
35. Steps:
1- after the RPD frame work is constucted on anatomic
imp.cast.it should be evaluated
for any metal projections and sharp
edges.
2-check the RPD metal frame
work in the patient’s mouth
36. 3-the impression tray is made
using chemically activated resin, a
the frame work with the
attached impression tray is
placed in the patient’s mouth
and correct peripheral extension
4-border molding the impression
tray using low fusing modeling
plastic < green or grey sticks >
37. 5-the final impression is made by
using zinc-oxide euginol paste
with the mouth opened and
tripod pressure is applied on
occlusal rests and indirect retainer
6-after the impression material is
set, the tray is removed and
checked for any discrepancies
38. 7. The metal framework with the
attached imp. is positioned on
the master cast with all
occlusal rests properly seated
in their prepared recesses.
8. The entire assembly is boxed
and poured in a different
colored stone.
Altered cast method
39. 3- At the finished denture stage:
Functional relining method:
The finished denture is relined by applying
for example ZnO eugenol imp. paste to the
acrylic fitting surface of the distal extension
saddle
the impression is made with the denture
being seated by pressure on the occlusal
rests and indirect retainers only.
No pressure is applied to the occlusal surface
of the artificial teeth
