title: A historical review of complete denture impression materials.
abstract: The history of complete denture impression procefures has been influenced largely by the development of impression materials from which new ideas and techniques arose. Apparently, some procedures have been devised solely for the promotion of certain impression materials. For the most part, however, impression materials have been developed to accomplish specific goals and, at the time at least, were considered desirable for the purpose.
