 Primary Impression
A positive likeness of the part (s) of the oral cavity for the
purpose of study, treatment planning, and/or fabrication of
final impression trays.
It plays a vital role in the planning and construction of
complete denture for the following important
considerations:
1-It is used to prepare the study casts by pour the
impression with plaster of Paris.
2- The study casts are important to make the record
base of occlusion relationship.
3-The study casts are used to establish the special
tray to use it in making the nal impression.
4- The construct of special trays for nal impression
are made on the study cast.
So that the primary impression should be consider as
exact copy of the oral tissues.
