Abstract:

Achieving passive fit is prerequisite of successful implant treatment. There are several factors that could affect passive fit among which impression making is one of the most important ones. A clinician should consider all these factors. For making a good impression, clinician should have answer to various questions. What is the best impression material? How should a tray be, stock or custom? Which technique of impression making (direct vs. indirect) is better? What is the best method for making an impression, implant level or abutment level? Could the implant system selection affect impression make? Do special cases need modified impression technique? How impression materials should be manipulated to achieve a good impression? If implants are in tilted direction, should the impression method be changed? What is the role of radiographs in making an appropriate impression? This lecture aims to discuss about these questions by presenting cases and articles.
