A simplified procedure for boxing elastomeric impressions.

Although it is taught in most dental schools, the boxing of impressions is often avoided by dentists after their graduation. This article presents a simple and efficient procedure that makes boxing impressions more acceptable. Irreversible hydrocolloid and the subsequent stone mix are confined with a magnetic boxing strip that can be easily removed and replaced. The procedure is described for boxing edentulous and partially edentulous altered cast impressions made with elastomeric impression materials.
