Using notched tray modification for accurate double-arch impressions
Article Abstract:
Dentists describe a way to improve impressions by making a notch in the posterior arm of the double-arch tray. This allows the tray to adapt to intraoral distortion forces without springing back to its original shape. This in turn creates a more accurate impression.
