Gingival Displacement for Impression Making in Fixed Prosthodontics: Contemporary principles, materials, and techniques

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The clinical success and longevity of indirect restorations depend on the careful and accurate completion of several procedures. One of the challenging procedures is management of the gingival tissues and gingival esthetics. The goal for management of gingival tissues and gingival esthetics is to maintain the normal appearance of healthy gingival. Achieving this goal requires optimal health before treatment and minimal trauma during treatment. The best way of optimizing health and minimizing trauma is to avoid contacting the gingiva with restorative materials. © 2014 Elsevier Inc.
