Abstract

Void-free impressions of tooth preparations for fixed prosthodontics are essential for accurately fitting restorations; however, commonly used impression methods are arduous and time-consuming. A procedure has been developed in which an impression is made in a preformed temporary crown shell for each tooth preparation and then a final over impression is made. The result is an atraumatic and uncomplicated complete-arch impression that incorporates an accurate impression of each prepared tooth.
