Comparison of Open-Mouth and Closed-Mouth Impression Techniques for Complete Dentures
Comparison of Open Mouth Vs Closed Mouth Edentulous Impression Technique: A Hospital Based Study
This randomized controlled trial compares two final impression techniques for complete dentures, the open mouth technique and the closed mouth technique. Completely edentulous adults with well-formed ridges will be randomly assigned 1:1 to one of the two techniques. All dentures will be made by a single operator using the same materials and laboratory. Six weeks after insertion, an examiner blinded to group allocation will assess denture retention using the Kapur index, and patient satisfaction will be recorded using a 5-item Likert questionnaire.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving
In the open mouth group, border molding and the wash impression are made with the patient's mouth open and no occlusal contact. In the closed mouth group, occlusal rims are attached to the custom trays at a predetermined occlusal vertical dimension, and the impression is made while the patient closes and performs functional movements. Jaw relations, try-in, and insertion follow the same protocol for both groups. Retention is scored separately for the maxillary and mandibular dentures, with a score of 2 or 3 counted as adequate. Satisfaction scores range from 5 to 25, and a score of 16 or above counts as satisfied.

Actieve vergelijker: Group A: Open Mouth Technique
Final impressions made in custom trays with sectional border molding using low fusing impression compound and a zinc oxide eugenol wash, with the mouth open and no occlusal contact. |
Secondary impression of the edentulous arch made in a custom acrylic tray. Border molding is done in sections with low fusing impression compound, followed by a zinc oxide eugenol wash impression. The clinician manipulates the tissues and the patient performs functional movements, with the mouth open and no occlusal contact. All steps are done by a single trained operator using the same materials and laboratory as the comparison group.

Actieve vergelijker: Group B: Closed Mouth Technique
Final impressions made in custom trays with attached occlusal rims set to a predetermined vertical dimension. Border molding and the wash impression are made while the patient closes into occlusion and performs functional movements. |
Secondary impression made in custom trays with occlusal rims attached and adjusted to a predetermined occlusal vertical dimension. Maxillary and mandibular trays are inserted together. Border molding with low fusing impression compound and a zinc oxide eugenol wash impression are made while the patient closes into occlusion and performs functional movements, recording the denture bearing areas under simulated functional load. All steps are done by a single trained operator using the same materials and laboratory as the comparison group.
