Impression Tray

OrthoProof's FlashCT scanner requires the use of a disposable plastic impression tray. The guidelines to follow for tray selection are:

• Adequate number of retention holes
• Adhesive if desired
• Retention rim
• Sufficient rigidity of tray
• Sufficient extension into the vestibule

The impression trays must be made of plastic, and the impressions must be of high quality. When taking the impression, warn the patient not to bite on the tray itself.

Select the correct sized plastic disposable tray, trying it in the mouth to ensure an adequate fit around the teeth and ensuring the tray extends adequately into the buccal sulcus.
