Ideal for crowns, bridges, and orthodontic planning, these trays provide stability, full arch coverage, and dependable detail reproduction in clinical use.
Description
Impression Trays for dentulous patients are essential tools used to capture accurate dental impressions of individuals with natural teeth. Made from rigid, perforated metal or durable plastic, these trays hold impression materials securely in place to record fine anatomical details of the teeth, gingiva, and surrounding tissues. The perforations help lock in the material, preventing slippage or distortion during removal, ensuring precise models for crowns, bridges, dentures, and orthodontic work.
Key features and benefits:
• Designed specifically for patients with existing teeth (dentulous arches)
• Perforated surface promotes strong material retention
• Rigid structure maintains shape and prevents warping during impression setting
• Anatomically curved to fit maxillary and mandibular arches
• Available in multiple sizes for better adaptation and patient comfort
• Reusable metal trays can be sterilized, while disposable options ensure hygiene
Typical applications:
• Diagnostic casts and treatment planning
• Fabrication of crowns, bridges, inlays, and veneers
• Orthodontic models and space analysis
• Pre-prosthetic evaluations and occlusal records
Compared to edentulous trays, dentulous trays feature greater depth and contour to accommodate natural teeth and capture precise occlusal surfaces. Their stability helps reduce retakes, improving workflow and clinical accuracy.
Best usage tips:
• Select appropriate size for full arch coverage
• Apply adhesive if required for alginate or silicone material
• Center the tray and seat evenly with gentle pressure
• Allow complete set before removal to prevent voids
Impression Trays for dentulous cases form the foundation of successful restorative and orthodontic treatments, delivering reliable, well-defined impressions with clarity and comfort.
