title: Predictable definitive impressions for multiple indirect restorations using a modified putty and wash impression procedure.
abstract: Accurate impression-making is essential for the construction of accurately fitting indirect restorations. The putty and wash impression technique using an elastomeric impression material is a popular method. A modified technique is presented that ensures predictable registration of multiple tooth preparations in the dental arch in a single impression.
