When deciding on an impression tray for your dental practice, there are a few important factors to take into consideration. It’s crucial to choose a durable and high-quality impression tray, as different trays and materials can impact the stability while taking impressions, the accuracy of the impression and final results, and patient comfort.
When deciding which impression tray is ideal for your practice, you should pay attention to size, shape, and material. For example, denture impression trays made from metal and stainless steel are sturdy and can be reused, making them more economical. However, plastic dental impression trays are slightly malleable, making them easier to fit into the patient’s oral cavity. For optimal usability and results, dental impression trays should be made using a sturdy material and a secure handle that makes impressions easier for dentists.
Note that equally important to the type of dental impression trays you select, is the impression materials used with them. Polyether is known for its durability, which can reduce the risk of marginal tears. Another popular impression material is vinyl polysiloxane, which allows for the utmost accuracy when creating impressions and decreases the chance of distortion when removing.
