title: Troubleshooting vinyl polysiloxane impressions.
abstract: For consistent results in impressions and restorations, the following four rules make a handy checklist: 1. Exclude as many variables as possible from your technique. 2. Review materials and techniques on a routine basis. 3. Discuss with laboratory technicians what they observe as they work with your impressions. 4. Pursue the satisfaction of keeping your skills at their highest level.
