title: The plastic cap--an improved technique for impression taking.
abstract: An improved impression technique is described using a plastic, transparent, flexible cap in combination with silicone impression materials. The technique can easily be applied at the chairside by the clinician and provides a solution to some of the present problems in impression with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissues.
