as well as the soft yielding tissues (mucosa) and Surfaces that will contact the RPD framework Delineate accurately Critical landmarks: preipheral extention retromolar pads, hamular notch, vestibular depths and edentulous regions.
Impression Techniques
1- Anatomic ridge form:
class III, short span class IV) so the edentulous ridges dont contribute to the support of the R.P.D. Single, pressure-free imp. records the teeth and soft tissues in their anatomic form .
Impression Techniques
2-Physiologic or functional ridge form: for tooth- tissue supported R.P.D. (Kenedys class I,II,long span class IV)
When the occlusal forces fall on toothtissue supported R.P.D., the ridge contribute to support as well as teeth This imp. recordteeth in their anatomic form and the ridge in its functional form under pressure.

The imp. must: 1. Record and relate the tissues under uniform loading. 2. Distribute the load over as large an area as possible 3. Accurately delineate the peripheral extent of the denture base.
Factors influencing support from distal extension bases (factors influencing the amount of tissue displacement
1- Quality of soft tissues covering edentulous ridge 2- Type of bone making up denture bearing area 3- Design of partial denture 4- Amount of tissue coverage of denture base: 5- Amount of occlusal forces 6- Anatomy of denture bearing area: 7- Fit of denture base: 8.

to the ridge most efficiently, the majority of force must be directed to the primary stress bearing areas, that are capable of withstanding that force.
mouth)
Since the tray used for the overall imp. is in contact with the occlusal rims, finger pressure is necessary to hold the original imp. in its functional position while the hydrocolloid material geles.
Disadvantages
If the clasp action is sufficient to maintain the
denture base in its intended position, This may result in compromised blood flow with adverse soft tissue reaction and bone resorption. If clasp action is not sufficient to maintain that functional relationship of the denture base to the soft tissue, this will result in floating denture with premature contact and patient dissatisfaction.
with the mouth opened and tripod pressure is applied on occlusal rests and indirect retainer
6-after the impression material is set, the tray is removed and checked for any discrepancies
The finished denture is relined by applying for example ZnO eugenol imp. paste to the acrylic fitting surface of the distal extension saddle the impression is made with the denture being seated by pressure on the occlusal rests and indirect retainers only. No pressure is applied to the occlusal surface of the artificial teeth
