title: Establishing the posterior palatal seal during the final impression stage.
abstract: A procedure for adding a posterior palatal seal at the final impression stage with green stick modeling compound is described. The location and degree of tissue displacement of the posterior palatal seal area are controlled by the dentist. This procedure is suggested to be more accurate than the arbitrary scraping of the master cast.
