Sectional Impression Tray With Reusable Handle: A Single Solution for All Microstomia Cases

Abstract

A dimensionally accurate impression is one of the primary determinants for the precise fabrication of complete denture prostheses in microstomia patients. This can be achieved with the help of sectional trays. This technical report describes the fabrication of a sectional impression tray with a reusable sectional handle using magnets. The handles can be sterilized and reused, thus saving clinical time for future use. The proposed method provides ease of reassembling and disassembling, easy placement, and guided orientation of the two tray segments.
