The preparation was precise. The restoration still didn't fit.

‍

✔ Distorted margins.
✔ A subgingival finish line the laboratory could not read.
✔ Bleeding and moisture at the moment of the impression.
✔ An incomplete impression sent to the laboratory.

‍

The clinical question becomes:
Did your impression actually capture what you prepared?

‍

Your restoration can only be as accurate as the impression you send.

‍

Small details at the impression stage become major problems at the cementation stage.

• What must be exposed before taking the final impression

‍

• Gingival displacement, bleeding control and moisture management

‍

• Recording supragingival, equigingival and subgingival finish lines

‍

• Impression material and technique selection according to the clinical situation

‍

• Pulls, tears, voids and distortion · recognizing an unacceptable impression

‍

• What the dental technician needs to identify your finish line

‍

• Clinical cases: good vs compromised impressions

1. Assess finish-line visibility before reaching the impression stage

‍

2. Manage tissue, bleeding and moisture with a clear clinical sequence

‍

3. Select the appropriate impression material and technique per case

‍

4. Record subgingival margins with greater predictability

‍

5. Inspect an impression and decide whether it is clinically acceptable

‍

6. Communicate preparation detail the laboratory can actually work with
