We approve the much using of silicone material in taking impression for implant bridge until now. But we have been looking for any-what good method of economical. We would like to introduce a economical method using now. This is a key to use silicon putty around implant copings with regular flow silicon material. This method allows to save you total silicon cost and time.

1) Preparation of impression copings with fixing to abutment head of the implants.
2) Impression tray that has opened window on the implant abutments.
3) Silicon putty and Poly-venyl silicon material for injection.

The impression taking starts from mixing of putty and puts the putty around the implant abutments. Injection silicone pouring to the tray without window-opening partitioned by a little bid putty. And we seat the tray to the dentition before hardening. The clearance between the abutment putty and the tray might be filled with injection silicon.

Full mouth restoration supported the four implants. The impression was made with PVS putty only. The method is very stressless, simple and easy!

Other case of few natural teeth remnant, no problem with PVS putty only for the impression making.

If there are some under-cut in the dentition, putty only impression seems to be avoided because it may be difficult to make model stone and re-making working model on the impression
