"Proplast" is the propriety name for a recently developed artificial substance developed from Teflon. This porous material is said to be firmly incorporated within 6-8 weeks through tissue ingrowth.

The article describes a method for obtaining an impression in patients suffering from a loss of maxillo-facial structure with reduced oral aperture. This involves making an individual resin tray, which is then divided in two, with four plugs on the underside for precise re-alignment later. The method suggested facilitates the insertion and removal of the tray. Thus an accurate impression of the perimeter can be obtained without the risk of trauma.
