Impression taking has been described as an art that requires capturing the exact dimensions of the preparation, soft tissue, the architecture of margins of the preparation, and the relationship of the prepared teeth to the surrounding dentition. Even the most experienced clinician can encounter difficulties without troubleshooting bubbles, tears pull, voids, and tray contact. This Dental Team Education course provides an overview of the materials and techniques needed to master impression making.

Presenter: Shannon Pace Brinker, CDA CDD, Academy of Chairside Assisting

After this course, you should be able to:
• Identify what makes a good impression
• Determine what trays are needed to capture the best impression based on the teeth being prepared
• Explore pre-operative, diagnostic and final impression techniques
• Outline the evaluation of  PVS impressions
