INTRODUCTION

• Preservation of remaining tissues.• Contribute to trauma to the surrounding

tissues. • Stress tolerance of supporting anatomic

structures, • Denture base always moves towards the

supporting muscle. • Support for the partial denture to be

considered

Rationale behind using

RPD….

IMPRESSION

A NEGATIVE LIKENESS OR COPY IN REVERSE OF THE SURFACE OF AN OBJECT ; IMPRINT OF TEETH AND ADJACENT STRUCTURES FOR USE IN DENTISTRY.

GPT – 8

PARTIAL DENTURE IMPRESSION

A NEGATIVE LIKENESS OF A PART OR ALL OF A PARTIALLY EDENTULOUS ARCH –

GPT – 8

Terminology

A RECEPTACLE IN TO WHICH SUITABLE IMPRESSION MATERIAL IS PLACED TO MAKE NEGATIVE LIKENESS

ORA DEVICE THAT IS USED TO CARRY, CONFINE AND

CONTROL IMPRESSION MATERIAL WHILE MAKING AN IMPRESSION.

IMPRESSION TRAYS

RPD IMPRESSION VS COMPLETE DENTURE

COMPLETE DENTURE IMPRESSION THE EDENTULOUS MUCOSA WITH UNDERLYING BONE ONLY

PARTIAL DENTURE IMPRESSION RELATIVE SOFT YIELDING TISSUES (THE ORAL MUCOSA) + HARD UNYIELDING SUBSTANCE (THE REMAINING TEETH).

IMPRESSION MATERIALS• NON-ELASTIC• ELASTIC

• AQUEOUS HYDROCOLLOIDS• AGAR• ALGINATE

• NON-AQUEOUS ELASTOMERS• POLYSULFIDE• SILICONES

RESIDUAL RIDGE

Anatomic form

Functional form

ANATOMIC FORM• THE SURFACE OF THE RESIDUAL RIDGE AT

REST.

• IT IS THE SHAPE OF THE RIDGE BEFORE FUNCTIONAL LOAD IS APPLIED.

14

FUNCTIONAL FORM • IT MEANS THE SHAPE OF THE RESIDUAL RIDGE

TISSUE WHEN IT IS FUNCTIONING TO SUPPORT THE DENTURE BASE.

• IT IS THE SHAPE OF THE RIDGE AFTER FUNCTIONAL LOAD IS APPLIED.

IMPRESSION MATERIALS ANATOMIC

IMPRESSIONS

• IRREVERSIBLE HYDROCOLLOID

• ELASTOMERIC IMPRESSION MATERIALS

• REVERSIBLE HYDROCOLLOID

FUNCTIONAL IMPRESSIONS

• FLUID WAXES• METALLIC PASTES• ELASTOMERIC IMPRESSION

MATERIALS• SOFT RELINERS

17

CONCEPT OF FUNCTIONAL IMPRESSION

THE TERM FUNCTIONAL IMPRESSION MEANS RECORDING THE FUNCTIONAL FORM OF THE RESIDUAL RIDGE TISSUE & TO OBTAIN UNIFORMITY OF SUPPORT

WHEN THE FUNCTIONAL LOAD IS APPLIED.

18

• Record and relate the tissues under uniform loading

• Distribute the load over as large an area as possible

• Accurately delineate the peripheral extent of the denture base

Therefore, the impression must…

20

INITIALLY…..

• APPLEGATE IMPRESSION WAX TO LOAD FUNCTIONALLY THE RESIDUAL RIDGE

• HINDEL FREE END DENTURE BASE UNDER MASTICATORY LOAD SHOULD BE RELATED TO METAL FRAMEWORK WHEN IT IS SEATED

• HOLMES USED FOUR DIFFERENT MATERIALS WITH ALTERED CAST TECHNIQUE

• LEUPOLD & KRATOCHVIL USED ZINC-OXIDE EUGENOL PASTE TO RECORD THE SHAPE OF RESIDUAL RIDGES

Leupold RJ, A comparative study of impression procedures for distal extension removable partial dentures. J Prosthet Dent 1966; 16:708.

21

• KRAMER & SINGER USED A DOUBLE IMPRESSION TECHNIQUE BASED ON LOAD DISTRIBUTION BY HINDEL

• MCCRACKEN FUNCTIONAL TECHNIQUE SHOULD BE USED WHEN CONSTRUCTING MANDIBULAR DISTAL EXTENSION BASED PARTIAL DENTURE

Leupold RJ, A comparative study of impression procedures for distal extension removable partial dentures. J Prosthet Dent 1966; 16:708.

NEED OF FUNCTIONAL IMPRESSION• THE DISPLACEABILITY OF THE MUCOSA OF RESIDUAL

RIDGE IS NOT UNIFORM.• IN CASES OF DISTAL EXTENSION BASED PARTIAL

DENTURE.• SHORT SPAN DISTAL EXTENSION BASES.

22

INDICATIONS FOR FUNCTIONAL IMPRESSION

Mandibular distal extension partial dentures • Mainly kennedy’s

class I & II edentulous arches.

23

OBJECTIVES OF FUNCTIONAL IMPRESSION(O.C. APPLEGATE)

To obtain the maximum area of coverage

Traumatic impact on any area must be avoided

At rest there must be no islands of ischemia

Under work loads all areas must receive massage stimuli. 24

SUPPORT OF DISTAL EXTENSION BASED PARTIAL DENTURE

minor support abutment teeth

major support elastic fibrous connective tissue pad

25

FACTORS INFLUENCING THE SUPPORT OF DISTAL EXTENSION BASE

• CONTOUR & QUALITY OF RESIDUAL RIDGE

36

Functional impression of extension area under occlusal load

Hydrocolloid impression over the first impression made under finger pressure.

37

• FINGER PRESSURE NOT EQUAL TO BITING PRESSURE

• CLOSELY AFFECT THE DIRECT RETENTION

38

Disadvantages-

• IMPRESSION IS MADE WITH A MODIFIED TRAY APPLYING FINGER PRESSURE.

39


HINDEL’S MODIFICATION

HINDLE’S FINGER LOADING

41

HINDLE’S FINGER LOADING

• TISSUES ARE IN CONSTANT STAGE OF COMPRESSION

• ISCHEMIA AND BONE RESORPTION

• PREMATURE CONTACTS AT REST.

42

Disadvantage

THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THESE TECHNIQUES WAS TO RELATE AN IMPRESSION OF THE

EDENTULOUS RIDGE TO THE TEETH UNDER A FORM OF FUNCTIONAL LOADING.

FUNCTIONAL RELINE METHOD

44


LAYER OF RELIEF GIVEN

45


THE DENTURE IS PROCESSED & FITTED IN THE MOUTH IN CUSTOMARY MANNER, EXCEPT THAT THE RELIEF METAL IS LEFT IN PLACE.

46

It should be worn for a trial period of a week & all needed adjustments are done


THE RELIEF METAL IS STRIPPED OFF FROM THE ACRYLIC.

47


LOW FUSING MODELING COMPOUND IS ADDED IN INCREMENTS

48

BORDER MOLDING DONE.

49

1 MM MODELING PLASTIC IS REMOVED FROM THE INTAGLIO SURFACE.

50

IMPRESSION MADE USING ONE OF THE CORRECTIVE MATERIALS : FLUID WAX, ZINC-OXIDE EUGENOL PASTES

OR ANY ELASTOMERIC IMPRESSION MATERIAL.

51

FUNCTIONAL RELINE METHOD

DISADVANTAGE

• OCCLUSION MAY BE ALTERED SLIGHTLY • FINE LINE OF DEMARCATION BETWEEN THE

NEWLY ADDED & OLD RESIN OF THE DENTURE

52

FLUID WAX TECHNIQUE

53Clinical Removable Partial Prosthodontics – Stewart. 3rd edition

THE MOST FREQUENTLY USED WAXES ARE

Korrecta wax no. 4 - Dr. O.C.& S.G. Applegate at University of Michigan

IOWA wax -Developed by Dr.Smith at University of IOWA

54

Korrecta wax no. 4 is slightly more fluid than IOWA wax

UNDERCUTS ELIMINATED USING BASEPLATE WAX

56

SEPARATING MEDIUM APPLIED TO THE CAST.

57

SELECTIVE TISSUE PLACEMENT IMPRESSION

METHOD

62

Direct more force to those portions of

ridge able to absorb stress

without adverse response & to

protect the areas of ridge which are

least able to absorb forces.

ALTERED CAST TECHNIQUE

ALTERED CAST : A FINAL CAST THAT IS REVISED IN PART BEFORE PROCESSING A DENTURE BASE—CALLED ALSO CORRECTED CAST, MODIFIED CAST

ALTERED CAST PARTIAL DENTURE IMPRESSION : A NEGATIVE LIKENESS OF A PORTION OR PORTIONS OF THE EDENTULOUS DENTURE BEARING AREA(S) MADE INDEPENDENT OF AND AFTER THE INITIAL IMPRESSION OF THE NATURAL TEETH.

70

• ALSO KNOWN AS CORRECTED CAST OR SPLIT CAST TECHNIQUE.

• IT IS MAINLY A MODIFICATION OF FUNCTIONAL IMPRESSION THROUGH LABORATORY PROCEDURE.

• FUNCTIONAL IMPRESSION FOR THIS TECHNIQUE CAN BE MADE USING ANY MENTIONED MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES.

must be overfilled to make solid base to prevent premature separation


80

88

• MAKE A SUPPORT BASE MIX WITH• 2 PARTS (26 ML) CORNSTARCH • 1 PART (13 ML) FINE PUMICE, AND • 1 PART (13 ML) PLASTER.

• ADD TO 115 ML WATER. POUR THE MATERIAL INTO A DENTURE FLASK.

• LET SET FOR 15 MINUTES. • SEPARATE MASTER CAST FROM THE SUPPORTING BASE AND

IRREVERSIBLE HYDROCOLLOID


89

• MIX 50% CORNSTARCH AND 50% WHITE MODELING PLASTER BY VOLUME WITH WATER TO A CREAMY CONSISTENCY. POUR THIS INTO THE BOXING WAX FORM. PLACE THE IMPRESSION IN THE MIXTURE.

• ALLOW THE MIXTURE TO SET FOR 10 MINUTES.• SEAL THE PREVIOUSLY USED BOXING WAX TO THE TRIMMED

BASE LEAVING AT LEAST 20 MM FROM THE TOP OF THE BOXING WAX TO THE HIGHEST POINT ON THE IMPRESSION.


• SOAK THE MASTER CAST IN SLURRY WATER FOR 5 MINUTES. POUR THE CAST USING THE SAME STONE AS THE ORIGINAL MASTER CAST. NO SEPARATING MEDIUM IS NEEDED

• WHEN THE STONE IS SET, REMOVE THE BOXING WAX AND PLACE THE CAST IN A WATER BATH OF 110” F

• SEPARATE THE PLASTER/CORNSTARCH MIXTURE WITH PLASTER PLIERS AND YOUR FINGERS.

ALTERED CAST PROCEDURE DOES NOT OFFER SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGES OVER ONE PIECE

CAST IF THE FOLLOWING STANDARDS ARE MET :

• COMPLETE EXTENSION OF IMPRESSION• USE OF MAGNIFICATION TO ADJUST AND

ENSURE COMPLETE SEATING OF THE FRAMEWORK.

• COVERAGE OF RETROMOLAR PAD AND BUCCAL SHELF AREA BY THE BASE
