The use of a properly made tray is highly desirable for impression making. To avoid the extra time required for tray fabrication, the alternative techniques of the putty wash or "reline" technique and intraoral fabrication of a custom tray by relining a stock tray with self-curing resin are proposed. This article illustrates a new technique of direct custom tray fabrication used for impression making for fixed prosthodontics. The proposed technique allows the direct fabrication of custom trays with light-cured resin and is time-saving, efficient, and inexpensive.

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.
