title: Three-way trays: easy to use and abuse.
abstract: The 3-way tray technique is popular as it provides master and opposing arch impressions and an interocclusal record at the same time. Excellent clinical results can be achieved with appropriate case selection, use of rigid tray and impression materials, attention to tray positioning and other details throughout the process, and clear understanding of the limitations of the technique by the operator and dental technician.
