Improvised Impression Method to Record Defective Maxillary Alveolar Ridge after Tumor Resection Using a Pneumatic Approach, Followed By Total Rehabilitation: a Case Report.
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Purpose: To record maxillary alveolar ridge defect area following tumour resection using inflated balloon loaded with impression material, to achieve an improvised result. Method: A case of maxillary alveolar ridge defect (Sibert’s Class III) where normal impression method encounters difficulty in recording the defect area. In this technique knowledge of pneumatic mechanics and its application has been utilized. A non-inflated latex balloon has been glued over a mouldable perforated tray, this has been sandwiched to silicone based impression material. An economically feasible apparatus has been assembled to inflate the balloon under controlled pressure. This in-turn aids in recording the ridge defect area with minimal material wastage. This was followed by routine clinico-laboratory procedures and rehabilitation has been done successfully using a fixed removable prosthesis ie. Andrew’s Bridge. Conclusion: It is important that the dentist find to a technique that works consistently in their hands, and be able to adapt when a clinical situation warrants a different approach. In this case report we had encountered a clinical situation that required multi-disciplinary approach. The improvised pneumatic impression technique had given a new dimension in impression making with good result along with minimal material wastage, making the clinical procedure convenient for the dentist and patient without compromising on the accuracy.
