Parts 1 . Body Body 2 . Handle Body Handle Handle EDENTULOUS TRAY DENTULOUS TRAY Floor Flat Body Flange Long Dentulous Tray Handle Straight Floor Round Body Edentulous Tray Flange Short Handle L - Shape
I- Stock trays II- Custom trays (Special, Individual trays) Types of Trays
Impression tray • is composed of • Body: The body consists of a floor and flanges. • Handle.
The body and handle are designed to suit different mouths 1-Dentulous mouth cases . 2-Edentulous mouth cases . 3-Partially edentulous mouth cases.
types Stock tray • Perforated or non perforated • Metal or plastic
Preliminary Impression USES Study cast As a study cast to study : 1. Ridge shape . 2. Palatal Vault shape . 3. Denture bearing areas . 4. Areas of undercut . 5. Relief areas . 6. Posterior palatal seal area . 7. Sharp bony edges . 8. Depth of the sulcus . 9. Inter-ridge space 10. Inter-ridge relations . As a cast on which the final impression tray is fabricated.
SPECIAL OR INDIVIDUAL TRAYS TYPES • 1. Shellac base plates . • 2. Self & light curing acrylic resin . • 3. Cast or swaged metal . Advantages of Special Trays 1 . Fit more accurately the individual arch of the patient. 2 . Bulk of the impression material is reduced . 4 . More accurate border contour 5 . Less impression material is used . 6. More comfortable to the patient .
Types of special trays 1- Shellac base plate special tray 2- Acrylic resin custom (special) trays: a- cold cured b- heat cured c- light cured Both heat and cold cured are used widely now. It is rigid and light in weight, not wrap in the mouth . 3- Cast or swaged metal tray 4- Vacuum formed plastic sheets It needs a pressure forming machine
Comparison between shellac and acrylic resin custom trays Self-cured acrylic resin special tray • Shellac base plate special tray • Low strength. 2. Easily distorted by load and temperature. 3. Improper adaptation to the cast 4. Easily constructed • Higher strength and rigidity. • Not distorted by temperature. • Well adapted • 4. Easily constructed

An impression is boxed to preserve the borders of the impression so that it will be accurately reproduced in the cast. Boxing the impression
1- Wax method 2- Plaster and Pumice method Methods for boxing
ADVANTAGES OF BOXING 1 . The borders of the impression are preserved 2 . The thickness of the base of the cast can be controlled 3 . Permits vibrating the stone material into the impression 4 . Time is conserved 5 . Material are conserved MASTER CASTS
