A two-stage impression technique for distal-extension removable partial dentures.
Partially edentulous mouths with distal-extension ridges present the challenge of correctly registering two tissues as dissimilar as teeth and edentulous ridges. A technique is described that makes it possible to make impressions with a combination of different impression materials within the same tray and have a firm support that assures even distribution of the impression material and faithfulness of reproduction.
