Abstract

Reproducing the accurate intraoral relationship of an implant through impression making is first step in achieving accurate fit prosthesis. Traditionally impression techniques used in implant dentistry can be classified into closed tray and open tray impression techniques. Open tray impressions are considered to be more accurate as compared to the closed tray impressions in cases with multiple implants. It requires long impression copings which are picked up in the impression during impression procedure thereby reproducing the exact relationship of an implant. Present article describe a modified direct abutment open tray impression technique utilizing applicator tips in absence of long impression copings.
