A sectional stock tray system for making impressions.
This article describes a sectional stock tray system developed by the authors for making preliminary impressions. It may be used not only for individual dental arches but also for patients with microstomia or constricted oral openings. This system allows many combinations of right and left tray sizes and forms to be assembled into a well-fitted anatomically-conforming tray in spite of individual anatomic discrepancies.
