2. AIMSAIMS
To customize the denture bases to the
supporting tissues
To develop the functional border of the
denture
To enhance retention & stability
To obtain optimal esthetics
To maintain health of the oral tissues
www.indiandentalacademy.com
3. PRINCIPLESPRINCIPLES
Denture base should cover maximum possible
supporting area.
Impression surface should achieve closest
possible contact with underlying tissues.
Border form of the prosthesis should establish
a peripheral seal ; support lips and cheeks
functionally and esthetically.

5. SPECIAL IMPRESSION PROCEDURESSPECIAL IMPRESSION PROCEDURES
1. Controlled - Minimally displacive impression
techniques,
E.g. displaceable (flabby) upper ridge.
2. Controlled – Pressure impression techniques,
E.g. Fibrous / Knife edge / Unemployed lower ridge
3. Functional impressions,
E.g. Indeterminate peripheral extensions
4. Denture space impressions, (External impressions),
E.g. When the denture is subjected to excessive
displacing forces from surrounding musculature
www.indiandentalacademy.com
6. Controlled - Minimally displacive
impression techniques
Patients wearing upper complete
denture opposed by lower natural
teeth.
Chronic complete denture wearers
Maxillary anterior ridge replaced by
fibrous tissue; reduced support for
dentures.
Patient complains of loose dentures
Impression techniques to avoid undue
tissue displacement.

(External Impressions)(External Impressions)
AimsAims
To determine the space within which the
denture can be sited without being
subjected to excessive displacing forces
from the surrounding musculature.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
30. Denture spaceDenture space
The portion of the oral cavity that is or may be
occupied by the maxillary and / or mandibular
denture (s).

32. IndicationsIndications
Past denture looseness due to
powerful lower lip activity.
Non-replacement of missing
teeth leading to tongue /
cheeks / lips partially
occupying the usual denture
space.
Enlarged tongue,
E.g. Down’s Syndrome.
Abnormal anatomy,
E.g. Hemimandiblectomy.
Inability to wear a lower

42. PrecautionsPrecautions
Stable record bases not interfering with muscle activity.
Patient to be trained in molding procedure prior to
insertion of loaded tray.
Excessive volume of molded material to be avoided –
causes distortion of potential denture space.
External impression may be totally unlike the shape of a
“normal” denture, hence laboratory staff must be
instructed about reproduction of the recorded contours.
