Transfer Impression in Prosthodontics Implants for the Range of the Practitioner

Abstract

Introduction: The success of an implant supported restoration is directly associated with accuracy and passive fit of fixture and abutments components, stability of implant/abutment interface, as well as adequate distribution of mastigatory loads to the set. The procedure of the implant or abutment transfer impression is one of the most important phase to obtain passivity fit for prosthesis/implant set. Objective: The aim of this study was to present a literature review to allow the practitioner necessary subsidies for right selection and indication of the most adequate impression material, type of the tray that proportionate more accuracy impressions, more favorable impression copping, as well as more appropriated types and impression techniques to each restoration, based on indexator PUBMED with impression, techniques, implants and fit terms and 26 being selected originals and actual manuscripts. Conclusion: From the literature review was concluded that addition silicone and polyether with custom trays and square impression copings showed more accuracy impression; conical impression copings should be indicate in small inter-arch space; impression copings should be splinted during the multiple restorations impression and customized to single restoration of esthetics site.
