Purpose: This study measured the accuracy of two impression techniques recommended by Noblepharma to be used with their CeraOne single tooth implant restoration. The first technique was to lute the impression transfer coping to the impression tray with autopolymerizing acrylic resin. The second was to leave the transfer coping free-standing in the impression material.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-five samples were made of a polyvinyl impression of the CeraOne transfer coping free-standing in the set impression material. Thirty-five samples were made of a polyvinyl impression of the CeraOne transfer coping luted to the impression tray with autopolymerizing acrylic resin. A jig was fabricated and used to record the spatial relations of the impressions and the transfer copings in reference to the jig. A light microscope was used to measure the distance between fixed markings on pressure sensitive paper, representing impression variations.

Results: The mean discrepancy in the horizontal plane for nonluted impressions was 0.094 mm, and for luted impressions, it was 0.275 mm. The mean discrepancy in the vertical plane for nonluted impressions was 0.154 mm, and for luted impressions, it was 0.192 mm. The differences found between the group with the luted impression tray and the group with the nonluted impression tray were found to be statistically significant.

Conclusions: The more accurate of the two techniques is to transfer the impression coping without luting it to the impression tray.

The main challenges to the widespread clinical application of three-dimensional (3D)-printed customized trays include cost and time limitations. This study examined how changing the internal structure of 3D-printed materials used for customized trays affects flexural strength (FS), flexural modulus (FM), manufacturing time, and material weight.

Dental impressions, developed for accurate capture of oral characteristics in human clinical settings, are seldom used in research on nonlivestock, nonprimate, and especially nonmammalian vertebrates due to a lack of appropriate tools. Studies of dentitions in most vertebrate species usually require euthanasia and specimen dissection, microCT and other scans with size and resolution tradeoffs, and/or ad-hoc individual impressions or removal of single teeth. These approaches prevent in-vivo studies that factor in growth and other chronological changes and separate teeth from the context of the whole mouth.

Objectives: There are no in vivo studies comparing multiple intraoral scanners (IOSs) for the completely edentulous maxilla to polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) impressions. Investigations comparing IOSs to PVS impressions focus on comparing the overall scan and not individual anatomical regions. This study aims to evaluate two IOSs and compare the results for different anatomical regions on the completely edentulous maxillary arch.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines new methods for creating tissue-supported complete dentures (TSCDs), highlighting a shift towards faster, comfort-focused, and cost-effective digital and simplified impression techniques, particularly using intraoral scanners (IOS).
  • It involved 15 patients with maxillary complete edentulism and compared various impression methods, including digital options with artificial intelligence support and traditional methods using zinc oxide eugenol and irreversible hydrocolloid.
  • Results indicated digitally captured impressions are comparably effective to conventional methods, particularly in palatal areas, suggesting digital methods could be more widely adopted in clinical practice for improved denture fitting.

The objective is to minimize the inaccuracies in two-step impressions by homogenizing the polymerization shrinkage of elastomeric impression material in fixed prosthesis fabrication. The objective is accomplished by the technique of spacer adaptation and custom tray fabrication for two-step impressions. The technique makes the use of two vacuum-adapted spacers, selected based on the viscosity of elastomeric impression, and a vacuum-adapted custom tray.
