Impression
• An impression is an exact negative replica of the oral structure
with an accurate reproduction of all the finer details maintaining
the correct spatial dimensions.
Purpose of Making Impression
• Many dental appliances are constructed outside the patient’s
mouth on a cast of hard and / or soft tissues. As the fabrication
required many laboratory procedures and the patient cannot be
asked to sit in dental office during this considerable period of
fabrication. Therefore, they are constructed on the cast in the
absence of patient. The accuracy of fit and the functional
efficiency of the appliance depend upon how well the cast
replicates the natural oral tissues. The accuracy of the cast
depends on the accuracy of the impression in which it was cast.
