“…If there is a significant thickness of the impression material, the clinician should reevaluate whether there is any interference between the framework and the teeth and whether the framework should be remade. If this discrepancy occurs on the distal extension area, a corrected cast impression procedure [5][6][7] could be made at the framework evaluation appointment or the denture should be relined after delivery. 6.…”

“…The altered cast technique has been recently more highly recommended to obtain the functional impression. This technique is described through the following steps [8]. The metal framework is made according to a full arch anatomic impression.…”

“…The result is a potentially more stable RPD that improves the support for the occlusal relationship of the opposing dentition and the RPD restoration. [1] The partially edentulous mouth may respond well to any number of treatment modalities and philosophies.…”

Free-end saddles are liable to be displaced under occlusal pressure. This is as a result of the displaceability of the mucosa. The altered cast technique is employed to try and prevent this by making an impression of the mucosa under controlled pressure. The metal framework was constructed on a cast produced by a mucostatic impression material. Base plates were then constructed in self-cured acrylics on the framework in the saddle areas, and these are close fitting. Border molding was carried out; impression was made with zinc oxide eugenol impression paste.In the laboratory, the free-end saddle areas on the master cast are sectioned off. The denture is then positioned on the model and the new saddle areas are poured. The resulting model represents the free-end saddle areas under conditions, which mimic functional load. Denture construction then continues as normal. The distribution of loading of the free-end saddles is improved and denture is more stable.
