ABSTRACT

The purpose of taking an impression in implantology is to accurately copy the position of the implants and other oral structures to make a model or an exact replica in plaster on which to perform the restoration. Accuracy is vital for the clinician when taking an impression, because otherwise all subsequent work will be useless, with consequent loss of time, money and effort, as well as being perceived negatively by the patient.

There are many materials and techniques for this purpose, so it will be essential to choose the most suitable to our needs.
