  2. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of the border molding and wash material techniques presented.
  3. Discuss the preliminary laboratory and clinical steps before border molding.

Abstract:
This course describes a technique that simplifies the making of an edentulous arch impression before the fabrication of a complete denture. Making an impression of an edentulous arch requires a unique combination of managing movable soft tissue commensurate with integrating different materials and a technique for accurate reproduction. The technique described requires a two-phase approach using a syringeable addition silicone during the border molding process and a condensation silicone wash material to capture the soft tissue while the functional border molding is repeated. These recently developed products allow us to achieve similar results and are easier, faster and more predictable than those products used previously.
