title: Modified Technique for Making Auto-polymerized Polymethylmethacrylate Resin Custom Tray.
abstract: Custom made tray for dental impression is designed to provide a uniform space for the impression material and thereby improve the accuracy of the resultant working cast. Auto-polymerized acrylic resins have been the most commonly used material for the fabrication of these trays. The custom tray produces more accurate and reliable results for inter-abutment distance at the occlusal and gingival level than stock trays. This article describes a modified technique for fabrication of auto-polymerized Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) resin trays.
