A loading impression technique for semiprecision and precision removable partial dentures. 1980

L Blatterfein, and I E Klein, and J C Miglino

The rationale of designing a seimprecision or precision distal-extension removable partial denture and the justification of ridge loading in distal-extension ridge impression techniques have been presented. The effectiveness of existing impression techniques in securing firm seats for abutment castings, accurate border extension of the denture base, and loading of the ridge mucosa has been evaluated. A technique has been described that overcomes the limitations of existing impression techniques for semiprecision and precision distal-extension removable partial dentures.

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.

D003834	Denture Precision Attachment	A precision device used for attaching a fixed or removable partial denture to the crown of an abutment tooth or a restoration. One type is the intracoronal attachment and the other type is the extracoronal attachment. It consists of a female portion within the coronal portion of the crown of an abutment and a fitted male portion attached to the denture proper.
