selective pressure

Question 5

minimal pressure impression

Answer 5

attempt is made to exert as little pressure as possible during impression procedures
objective is to capture tissues in their most undisturbed and undisplaced firm

Question 6

minimal pressure rationale

Answer 6

suggests that if tissues are recorded in an indisturbed state using an accurate, free flowing impression material, retention and stability of the dentures would be increased

Question 7

minimal pressure material

Answer 7

low viscosity, high flow

minimal pressure used to seat and hold tray

Question 8

functional pressure impression

Answer 8

made with soft tissue under a significant load

impression material is more viscous

Question 9

functional pressure theory

Answer 9

denture base tissue contact during function would be more intimate if tissue is recorded under compression

Question 10

selective pressure impression

Answer 10

pressure in certain areas, minimal pressure on other areas

dentist decides where and how much pressure

Question 11

which technique do we use?

Answer 11

selective pressure

Question 12

how do we select areas of pressure and non pressure within the same impression? (4)

wax spacer relief
drill vent holes in tray
grind the tray for relief space
combination of the above
