Abstract

Silicone impression materials are often used clinically because of their stability in dimensional precision. We performed layering impression (Korrekturabdruck) using putty type and injection type silicone impression materials. By this impression method, initial impression is performed without a spacer. After removal of the initial impression, grooves are made on the impression surface using a groove-cutter, and secondary impression is performed. This technique resulted in clear impressions and preparation of highly compatible prostheses.
