title: Impression techniques for removable partial dentures.
abstract: This article concerns a subject that has been very perplexing to dentists attempting to provide superior removable prosthetic services. The techniques in this article have been developed, tried, and proven over 42 years of clinical practice. Adequate impressions for partial denture construction when crowns that have been fitted to the mouth are included as part of the master cast. The dilemma of having already cemented crowns with attachments on them can be a problem. An easy technique has been developed for analog production in these cases.
