Our Dental Impression Trays come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate the size and shape of the arch, the type of impression material to be used, and the impression technique to be followed. Our impression trays include:
Edentulous impression trays. Two types of edentulous impression trays are available. One type is for use with modeling plastic or compound and is made of a pliable (Nickel Brass) metal alloy, which can be shaped by bending and cutting to fit the individual patient. The second type is for use with hydrocolloid impression material and is made with rimmed borders to retain the impressions material. Sizes available are small, medium, and large. Both types of trays are used for impressions when no teeth remain in the arch.
Dentulous impression trays. These trays are made with rimmed borders to retain the impression material in the tray when the impression is removed from the mouth. Trays can be bent, within limits, to accommodate either a wide arch or a narrow arch, but they should not be cut. They are available in small, medium, medium large, large, extra large. They are used when teeth are present in the arch.
Orthodontic impression trays. These trays have deeper flanges than the standard edentulous trays. They are provided in large, medium, medium-small, and small sizes for maxillary impressions and in large, medium, and small sizes for mandibular impressions.
Partial impression trays. Partial impression trays are provided in three designs for making impressions of anterior portions of the dental arch. The designs are maxillary anterior medium, maxillary anterior small, and mandibular anterior.
