FUNCTIONAL
IMPRESSION IN RPD
BY – ENISHA AGARWAL
BATCH-D
ROLL NO. 38
ANATOMIC FORM
• Anatomic form is the surface contour of ridge when it is not under
any occlusal load
• The surface of the residual ridge at rest
• Anatomical impression record the tissue in anatomical form
• Recorded with soft impression materials like ZOE and Plaster of Paris
FUNCTIONAL IMPRESSION
• These impression are recorded under functional load, that is tissue
surface is recorded in compressed form
• As soft tissues are recorded in compressed form ,denture will not exert
additional stress on abutment teeth during functional loading
• So occlusal load can be evenly distributed between soft tissues and
abutment teeth
• These are required only to record edentulous saddles
• Note – these impressions are indicated for tooth supporting partial
dentures
• For distal extension bases (class 1and 2) mainly in mandibular arch and
long span anterior edentulous ridge (class 4)
IMPRESSION MAKING FOR KENNEDY’S TOOTH
SUPPORTED PARTIAL DENTURE.
• Conventional anatomic impression are made.
• The procedure for impression making is similar to procedures described for making a diagnostic
impression.
• A small quantity of alginate is spread over the prepared tooth surfaces before placing the tray
material.
• After making the impression,it is gently wash under water to clear the saliva and debris.
• The cast should be poured within 12 min. after impression making.
IMPRESSION MAKING FOR DISTAL EXTENSION
BASES:
• Support for distal extension denture is obtained from both the teeth and the tissues.
• Factors influencing the support of a distal extension base:
• Contour and quality of residual ridge.
• Extent of residual ridge coverage by denture base.
• Type and accuracy of the impression.
• Accuracy and fit of the denture base.
• Design of the partial denture frame work.
• Total occlusal load applied.
PHYSIOLOGICAL OR FUNCTIONAL DUAL
IMPRESSIONS
• One anatomical impression is made of the
entire ridge and one physiological or
functional impression is made on the
edentulous portion.
• The functional impression is made by
applying occlusal load on impression tray
and tissues are displaced during impression
making.
The common techniques employed to record a physiological dual impression
are:
• McLean’s technique.
• Hindle’s modification of Mclean’s technique.
• Functional relining method.
• Fluid wax technique.
MCLEAN’S PHYSIOLOGIC IMPRESSION
• Principle:
• Two impressions are made in this procedure.
• A functional impression of the edentulous ridge is made. The
second impression is made over the functional impression and it
records the remaining structures in their anatomic form .
• The second impression is also known as the pick up impression
because it covers, and pick up the functional impression (first
impression) along with itself.
PROCEDURE
• A custom made impression tray is fabricated over the
edentulous areas of the preliminary cast.
• A spacer is not adapted because we intend to record
only the supporting tissues
• Occlusal rims are made on the custom tray.
(required to bite on )
• The tray loaded with the impression material is inserted
into a patient mouth and the patient is asked to close
on the occlusal rims built over the tray
• when patient occludes on rims, the tissues under the
tray are compressed and impression is recorded.
• After making the impression the custom tray should
not be removed from the mouth.
• An alginate over-impression(this impression is made
over the existing impression)is made using a large
stock trays.
• When over-impression is removed, the functional master
impression comes along with it. Since the alginate over
impression carries the functional impression along with it,
it is called pick up impression.
• Finger pressure should be applied on the stock tray while
making over impression so that custom tray is pushed
towards tissue while making overimpression
• A cast is poured into the impression. This will reproduce
the teeth in the anatomical form and the tissues in
functional form.
• The supporting tissues may not be as
compressed as they were while making the
functional impression, this can lead to errors
( as biting force is not equal to finger pressure)
• Small quantity of alginate between the occlusal
rim of the custom tray and the over-impression
stock tray.
• This alginate may act like a buffer and prevent
the transfer of the entire load (finger pressure)
applied on the stock tray to the special tray.
DISADVANTAGES
HINDLE’S MODIFICATION OF MCLEAN’S
TECHNIQUE
Principle- it is similar to Mclean’s technique.
Hindle modified Mclean’s technique to overcome the disadvantages
• Procedure – Special tray with an occlusal rim is fabricated using the primary cast.
The special tray should have stoppers to avoid excessive pressure on tissues.
• It records the supporting tissues under rest
• Special tray with the impression is left untouched in the patient’s mouth.
• A special stock tray with large holes is used to make over impression
• While making the over impression clinician should apply steady constant pressure
by placing his fingers into the holes till the alginates sets completely
Functional impression in RPD
ILL EFFECTS PRODUCED BY MC LEAN AND HINDLE’S
METHODS
• Dentures made using functional impressions will
constantly pressurise the soft tissues.
• Constant pressure from the denture will stimulate
osteoprogenitor cells to form osteoclast which
resorb bone.
• Constant pressure from the denture can
produce ischemia. Ischemia can produce
bone resorption via various chemical
mediators that stimulate osteoclasts.
• Dentures made using functional
impressions get occlusally displaced at
rest due to tissue rebounce. This may
lead to premature contacts.
FUNCTIONAL RELINING METHOD
• Principle
• In this method, an anatomical master impression of all the oral structures is made
• Two casts are made from this anatomical impression, one is the master cast and the
other is the refractory cast.
• The framework of the partial denture is fabricated using the refractory cast.
• This framework is verified in the patient’s mouth and directly used as a special tray to
record functional impression
• The master cast is altered according to functional impression made on tissue surface
of framework
PROCEDURE
• Partial denture framework is constructed on the cast made from a single
anatomic impression: first master impression.
• Master cast is made from the anatomical impression. The master cast is
duplicated and a refractory cast is made.
• A framework is fabricated using the refractory cast.
• Ash no.7 soft metal spacer which was adapted on cast before constructing
framework should be removed before making impression
• Next the framework is tried on patient’s mouth
• A functional impression is made on the tissue surface of the framework:
second master impression. Hence this technique is categorized as a dual
impression.
• The functional impression is made with low fusing modelling
plastic.
• The material is added in flowing consistency onto tissue
surface of framework
• Sufficient pressure is applied during impression making to
ensure compression of tissues
• The function of modeling plastic is to act like a tray for ZOE
paste
• the modeling plastic at the border of framework are resoftened
to do border modelling
• After recording the tissues with modelling plastic
it is trimmed to provide space for ZOE impression
paste
• the modelling plastic at borders is reduced by
1mm and modelling plastic at the crest of the
ridge is removed to its entire thickness
• After reducing modelling plastic the final
impression is made with ZOE impression paste. If
undercuts are present. Light bodied polysulfide or
silicone rubber can be used
• Patient should keep his mouth partially opened position because-
• In this position movements of cheek and tongue are in best control
• The relationship between partial denture framework and teeth can be
observed
ADVANTAGES
• Improves the fit of the denture
after bone resorption.
• The tissue surface of the metal
framework can be relined after
insertion.
DISADVANTAGES
• Difficult to maintain the
relationship of the framework to
the abutment teeth while making
the impression.
• Occlusion is usually affected due
to the addition of a new layer to
the tissue surface of the denture
base
FLUID WAX FUNCTIONAL IMPRESSION
• Principle
• In this technique, a framework is fabricated using the anatomical
impression. The framework is modified into a special tray. A fluid
wax functional impression is made using the special tray.
• Uses
• Reline the tissue surface of an existing RPD.
• Correct the distal extension edentulous ridge of the original master
cast.
OBJECTIVES
• To obtain maximum extension of the peripheral borders of the denture without
interfering with movable tissues
• To record stress bearing areas in functional form.
• To record the non stress bearing areas in anatomic form.
• It is an open mouth technique and displacement of tissues under occlusal load is
reduced
Materials used:
• Iowa wax
• Korrecta wax
PROCEDURE
• Fabricating the special tray
• Framework is positioned on the master cast.
• Outline of tray is drawn in the master cast made from the anatomical
impression.
• Cast coated with separating medium
• A spacer is adapted over the crest of the edentulous ridge using a single
layer of the base plate wax.
• Framework is placed over the spacer.
• Autopolymerising resin is mixed and adapted over the framework along the length of
the ridge and excess material is removed with sharp knife before resin hardens
• Borders of the cured resin tray should be trimmed according to
the outline.
• Relief holes can be prepared along the crest of the ridge and
retromolar pad to allow the escape of excess impression
material.
IMPRESSION MAKING
• Wax is softened in a water bath at 51-54C. It is then
painted evenly on the tissue surface of impression tray with
a brush. Wax should be painted in excess near the borders
to record the sulcus.
• Tray is seated and held with three fingers.
• The cheeks are then pulled over the borders of the tray to
record the buccal vestibule.
• The patient is asked to force his tongue against cheeks to
record sublingual borders and against anterior teeth to
record distolingual extensions
• Pt should keep mouth half open for 5 min to ensure cooling and hardening of wax
• When the wax hardens, the framework special tray is removed and impression is
examined.
• The wax surface that contacted the tissues appear glossy and the other areas will
appear dull.
• Additional wax is painted over the dull areas and the procedure is repeated until
glossy borders are obtained.
• Each time wax impression is inserted in mouth Operator must wait for 5 mins before
impression removal
• The impression should be placed in the mouth finally for 12 minutes and then cast is
poured
SELECTIVE PRESSURE FUNCTIONAL DUAL
IMPRESSION TECHNIQUE
• In this technique one anatomical impression and one selective pressure
functional impression is made. A master cast is prepared from the anatomical
impression and is later altered according to the selective pressure functional
impression.
• Advantage
• It equalizes the stress acting on the abutment teeth and the soft tissues.
• The rate of ridge resorption is reduced because relieving areas that cannot
withstand any load are not stressed.
PROCEDURE
• Special tray is fabricated on master cast made from an anatomical
impression
• The tray is fabricated without a wax spacer
• Tissue surface of special tray is trimmed with burs to provide adequate
relief
• The impression material ( preferably ZOE ) is loaded on prepared special
tray and inserted into patient’s mouth
• Patient is advised to keep his mouth open
• The impression is recorded under finger pressure
• Only the stress bearing areas will be compressed during impression
making
BLATTERFEIN’S TECHNIQUE FOR IMPRESSION MAKING
SEMI PRECISION AND PRECISION PARTIAL DENTURES
• Here an algniate impression is made and cast is poured
• Baseplate wax is adapted over the teeth region on the cast
• Second layer of wax is then adapted over the complete cast
• Windows are cut in wax to provide for tissue stops
• An acrylic plate is fabricated
• The impression is made using polyether and then master cast is
poured
TWO STAGE IMPRESSION FOR DISTAL EXTENSION
REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURES
BY -ROBERTOVON AND KRAMMER
• Here the impression area is divided into tooth zone and tissue zone
respectively
• A spacer is adapted over entire cast and custom tray is fabricated
• A tube is attached in the tooth zone
• First the spacer is removed from tissue zone and ZOE impression is
made of tissue zone
• Next the spacer is removed from the tooth zone and irreversible
hydrocolloid material is injected into the tubes attached to the tray
near tooth zone
Alginate
zoe
CLYDE D LEACH’S TECHNIQUE FOR MAXILLARY RPD
• Outline is marked on maxillary cast for fabrication of resin tray
• The tray is fabricated and multiple perforations are made
• An impression is made of palatal tissues
• A special tray with stops is then used to make an over impression over the resin
tray impression
SINGLE TRAY DUAL IMPRESSION TECHNIQUE
BY JOSEPH A RUPANO
• In this technique a spacer is adapted over the tooth region
• A special tray is made with an opening around the teeth region
• Border moulding and impression is made of edentulous region
• Occlusal rims are fabricated over tray to record a functional
impression
• A final pick up impression is made over teeth region and excess
material flows out through the perforations
MODIFIED APPROACH FOR MANDIBULAR DISTAL
EXTENSION RPD
BY-SONI PRASAD
• A polyvinyl siloxane impression is made of mandibular arch and master
cast is poured
• The metal framework is fabricated and verified
• Wax try-in is verified and denture is processed and inserted
• During insertion, a soft liner is placed after 2 days post insertion
• It is worn for period of 1 week and permanent relining is done
• The final denture is then dileverd
SIMPLIFIED IMPRESSION TECHNIQUE FOR DISTAL
EXTENSION RPD BY ELIE DAOU
• It is same as hindel’s technique except that impression
compound is used to fabricate occlusal rims instead of
wax.
