This article describes a method of making impressions for tooth-mucosa-supported removable partial dentures using a single impression procedure. Through the use of border-molded custom trays, selectively relieved, and application of pressure on residual ridge areas, the objectives of maximum tissue coverage and selective tissue placement of primary stress-bearing areas are fulfilled. With a single impression procedure, treatment time is reduced and laboratory errors commonly encountered with the altered cast impression technique can be minimized or eliminated.
Various procedures are used to reline removable dentures. Some of these involve the use of wax to seal the denture to the cast for flasking and processing. This necessitates the use of high temperatures for an extended period and involves the risk of warpage of the denture. It is also relatively time-consuming. This article describes a procedure that uses polyvinyl siloxane instead of wax. The procedure is more time efficient and decreases the risk of warpage of the denture.
