Comparative evaluation of the accuracy of pick up transfer impressions performed with two different types of trays
Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2013, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: The success of implant-supported prostheses is related to the passive union between the prostheses’ connections and the implants, so it is necessary to obtain an accurate working cast. Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of the transfer impressions of implants performed with individual acrylic resin trays and conventional trays using polyvinyl siloxane. Material and methods: To carry out the transfer impressions, a master cast with four external hexagon implants parallel to each other was used. Five impressions were made with individual acrylic resin trays and five other impressions with modified conventional trays, opened in the region of the implants. The linear measurements between the implants were made with a digital caliper with an accuracy of 0.01 mm and the results were statistically evaluated (alpha = 5%). Results: For the points AB and BC, the measurements obtained with the individual trays were statistically similar to the master cast. For the points CD and DA no statistical differences among the three groups were observed. Conclusion: Given the obtained results and the methodology used, it can be concluded that the impressions performed with individual trays presented higher accuracy compared to the ones obtained with conventional trays.
