The altered cast impression technique revisited.

BACKGROUND: The altered cast impression technique of fabricating removable partial dentures, originally described more than 60 years ago, improves the residual-ridge-to-dentition relationship of the prosthesis. This potentially increases patient satisfaction while preserving the remaining supporting structures. LITERATURE REVIEWED: This article reviews research that evaluated abutment tooth movement as a result of the relationship of the denture base to the residual ridge, revealing that improved fit reduced tooth movement. Load distribution studies have shown that a well-fitting denture base distributes stresses favorably to the supporting bone and abutment teeth. Other studies showing that increased residual ridge coverage coupled with a well-fitting denture base reduces stress per unit area, potentially preserving the remaining supporting structures. CASE DESCRIPTION: The article describes a patient who had a unilateral distal extension removable partial denture that was fabricated after the failure of a 20-year-old partial denture due to extensive dental decay. The prosthesis was fabricated over the course of four appointments, and the prosthesis was delivered on the fifth appointment. The patient, who wears the prosthesis daily, expressed comfort and ease of use at a one-year recall examination. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Distal extension edentulism can affect a patient's ability to function as a dentate person. A well-made removable partial denture that has appropriate extensions, borders and ridge-to-dentition relationship will benefit the partially edentulous patient by providing increased comfort and improved dental function.

A functional impression technique for an implant-supported overdenture: a clinical report.

Overdenture support is derived from oral mucosa and retained roots or implants. Functional loads must be distributed, optimally, between the supporting structures for the success of overdentures; such a distribution may be obtained with the use of functional impression procedures. A functional impression technique is described for the fabrication of an implant-supported overdenture.

Modified functional impression technique for complete dentures.

This report describes the use of a removable acrylic resin tray handle that can be easily attached to custom impression trays to produce an improved peripheral sealing zone. This device can be indicated to develop functional impressions for complete dentures using the patient-conducted muscular motion technique. In upper trays, the handle is fixed in the midline with acrylic resin, while in lower trays the centrally positioned handle is removed before border molding. This removable handle allows patient's suction and free tongue movements. Final impression is carried out in two stages: peripheral sealing (low fusion compound) and recording of the main supporting region of the denture (zinc oxide and eugenol paste). All border records are obtained from the patient's own movements (handle suction and tongue motion). The removable handle is simple to use, is reusable, can be adapted to any individual acrylic resin trays and allows accurate registration of the peripheral sealing zone (border tissues).

Crown and bridge impressions--a comparison between the UK and a number of other countries.

The quality of impressions for crown and bridge work in seven countries were compared with the results found in the United Kingdom in a previous study. The results showed that metal impression trays were used more frequently, and flexible plastic trays less frequently, in the countries visited than in the United Kingdom. Other differences and similarities were noted.
