The conclusion was that they should only be used for single units, not when the terminal unit in the arch is being prepared. Evaluation of the 6 most popular plastic, disposable articulator systems used with dual-arch impressions found that with all systems, it was virtually impossible to maintain and repeat a centric occlusal position stop. This is further complicated by the fact that many commercial laboratories employ plastic, disposable articulators to use in the fabrication process, adding to the inaccuracies that can occur. When employed properly they can be used satisfactorily however, the overuse and abuse observed in commercial laboratories have frustrated both technicians and clinicians. Because of their ease of use, conservation of material, and elimination of the need for an opposing impression and bite registration, dual-arch quadrant impressions have become the overwhelming choice for most dentists. Laboratories estimate that about 85% of units are single crowns, and most of those are done with a dual-arch quadrant or triple tray. This article will attempt to clarify some of the areas of confusion regarding impression materials and techniques.Ĭonsider first the type of case that is being done. Confusion abounds and is further complicated by the omission from marketing literature of some information about PVS materials that is instrumental in using them and understanding how to get the best results from them. At least 43 different brands of polyvinyl siloxane impression materials are offered by at least 29 different companies. Unfortunately, there are a great many choices regarding the best tray to use (full-arch, quadrant, or dual-arch “triple” trays, stock or custom, plastic or metal trays) and regarding which technique is best (1- or 2-step putty/wash, heavy-body tray/wash, or monophase), and an even greater number of choices regarding which impression material to use to take the impression. The impression is the basic starting point for all laboratory procedures, as well as the basis for quality and cost-effective dentistry for the clinician. The user should verify compliance of the laws with the relevant information in the Laws of United State of America.There is no single procedure that a dentist can do, or any single procedure that a lab can do for the dentist, that will improve the final result of indirect restorations more than improving the quality of the impression.
