Overview:
The history of making impressions has been the basis of most prosthodontic reservations. Even with the advancement of the Scan-Cad, movable prosthodontics will require exquisite impressions to scan. Scanning all the movements both functionally and statically will require an impression. This presentation will present a layering impression method utilizing several viscosities to accomplish both the functional and mucositis properties required for a proper removable prosthesis. The method will describe a one-appointment procedure delivering superior detail of both hard and soft tissues.

• Understand why using multiple viscosity impression materials can yield ideal edentulous impressions.
• Understand the difference between a functional and mucositis impression.
• Eliminate the two-appointment impression to one appointment with equal or better quality.
• Understand why letting the patient mimic their facial movements produces an accurate peripheral role.
