Special Tray

This document summarizes the key steps in fabricating a special tray, including: 1) Preparing the primary cast and blocking out undercuts; 2) Adapting various types of relief wax over relief areas; 3) Adapting different spacer designs like Boucher, Morrow, or Sharry; 4) Adding tissue stops; 5) Applying a separating medium; 6) Acrylizing the tray to a thickness of 2-3mm; and 7) Fabricating handles that are parallel to the long axis of teeth and don't interfere with lip movement. The special tray is then ready for use in making border molded impressions.

Special Tray
A special tray is defined as, A custom made
device prepared for a particular patient which is
used to carry, confine and control an impression
material while making an impression.

Requirements of special tray:


A special tray should be
1. Rigid
2. Retain shape
3. Simple fabrication
4. Easy to trim

Materials used to fabricate special tray:


1. Auto polymerizing acrylic resin.
2. Shellac
3. Vacuum or pressure-formed thermoplastic
resin sheets.
4. Tray compound

Overview

FABRICATION
A. Preparation of the primary cast :
1. Undercuts should be find out with the
help of surveyor and should be blocked out .

RELIEF - TYPES

B. Adapting the relief wax:


Relief wax should be adapted over the
relief areas marked on the cast.

SPACER

C. Adapting the spacer:

NEILL- O.9 mm of casting wax all


over except pps area

BOUCHERS DESIGN
1 mm base plate wax
all over except over
pps area.

MORROW,
RUDD,
RHOADS
full wax spacer
2mm short of
tray.
3 tissue stops
-4x4mm
equidistant from
each other.

SHARRYS SPACER
DESIGN
base plate wax covering
the entire tray,
4 tissue stops-2 mm in
width .
In molar and cuspid
region . 1 vent hole in
incisive papilla region.

Function:
a. The spacer allows the tray to be properly
positioned in the mouth during border molding procedure.
b. To allow the impression to have an even
thickness of impression material.

Thickness of the spacer for different impression


material:

0.5 mm
3 mm
0.5-1.5 mm

Ref: Finn

D. The use of stops:


The spacer should be cut out in 2-4 places so that
the special tray touches the ridge in these areas .
Location: Usually 4 stoppers are placed,
Size and shape : 2 by 4 mm rectangle

E. Application of separating medium

Autopolymerizing resin impression trays


1.Sprinkle on
2.Finger adapted dough method

F. Acrylization:
Thickness 2-3 mm

G. Fabrication of handle:
Criteria of handle :
1. The handle should be parallel to
the long axis of the teeth that
are to be replaced.

2. The handle should not arise


horizontally from the tray
because it may interfere with lip
movements.

3. It should be 3-4 mm thick ,


8 mm long , and 8 mm high.

Handle criteria continued


4. The vertical distance from
the sulcus to the handle is 2 cm
5. The handle upstand must be made
long enough for the handle to exit
through the oral commissure.

6. For mandibular tray two posterior


handle should be given as finger rests.

The next phase is preparing the tray for border


molding procedure:

Shellac

For immediate dentures


Full arch

finger adapted
vacuum method

Custom posterior trays


Two piece trays
