A New Hybrid Technique for Beading and Boxing of Complete Denture Final Impressions

Conclusion: Beading and boxing of an impression is done to protect the formed border thickness of an impression, regulate the height& size of the cast, avoid undue trimming of the cast and to eliminate distortion associated with slumping of the gypsum material when an impression is inverted. This hybrid technique of beading and boxing eliminates the need for applying separating media over the beading of a plaster-pumice mixture and by this technique retrieval of the cast from the impression is very easy and quick. The resulted cast will be very neat and clean with accurate thickness of the borders and base of the cast .This technique is suitable for impressions made from almost any type of impression material.
