  • Title: Preliminary silicone putty casts: diagnosis to final impression for complete dentures.
    Author: Kinderknecht KE, Dominici JT, Clark EP.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 1996 Apr; 75(4):453-6. PubMed ID: 8642537.
    Abstract:
    Silicone putty casts are useful for articulating existing dentures for evaluation and problem solving before relining procedures are performed or a new prosthesis is made. Tissue health may require significant modification of the existing dentures and treatment with tissue-conditioning material before final impressions are made. This practical procedure uses a functional impression that substitutes for a quality preliminary impression and combines tissue conditioning, a functional impression, silicone putty cast, custom final impression tray, and a final impression for a complete denture.
