One-step border molding of complete denture impressions using a polyether impression material. 1979

D E Smith, and L B Toolson, and C L Bolender, and J L Lord

A technique has been described which uses a polyether impression material for border molding of complete denture impressions. It has the following advantages: 1. There is simultaneous molding of all borders of either the maxillary or mandibular impression. 2. Border molding can be accomplished with one insertion of the tray. 3. Functional movements performed by the patient are used in border molding. 4. The technique is easily mastered.

D011108	Polymers	Compounds formed by the joining of smaller, usually repeating, units linked by covalent bonds. These compounds often form large macromolecules (e.g., BIOPOLYMERS; PLASTICS).	Polymer
D003760	Dental Impression Materials	Substances used to create an impression, or negative reproduction, of the teeth and dental arches. These materials include dental plasters and cements, metallic oxide pastes, silicone base materials, or elastomeric materials.

D003761	Dental Impression Technique	Procedure of producing an imprint or negative likeness of the teeth and/or edentulous areas. Impressions are made in plastic material which becomes hardened or set while in contact with the tissue. They are later filled with plaster of Paris or artificial stone to produce a facsimile of the oral structures present. Impressions may be made of a full complement of teeth, of areas where some teeth have been removed, or in a mouth from which all teeth have been extracted.
