GINGIVAL RETRACTION: ESSENTIAL FOR MAKING A GOOD IMPRESSION-A REVIEW - PART 1
Safia Almas*, Sabzar Abdullah, Gaurav Singh, Amina and Heba Ansar
ABSTRACT
Because it is not practical nor desired to create patterns for fixed prostheses directly in the mouth, it is required to take an impression of the teeth and surrounding tissues in order to create a cast, which will be used to create the restoration in the lab. To create the cast, impression material is placed in the patient's mouth using a tray.[1] The gingival margin must be accessible and unobstructed during taking an impression in order for the impression material to have enough room to flow onto it. The gingival sulcus also needs to be sufficiently large.[2]
