  • Title: The laminar impression technique.
    Author: Schoenrock GA.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 1989 Oct; 62(4):392-5. PubMed ID: 2685238.
    Abstract:
    The laminar impression technique is a precise, rapid, and predictable alternative to traditional methods of impression-making in fixed prosthodontics. A preliminary impression is made using plastic "triple-arch" type trays and high-stiffness vinyl polysiloxane jaw relation registration material. After tooth preparation, tissue management, and retraction this registration can be used for provisional fabrication. Two holes are then drilled through the facial wall of the tray into the region of the preparation. The tray is replaced in the mouth and light-bodied vinyl polysiloxane impression material is injected into the holes by using an "automixing" gun system.
