Dental Impression Tray

Dental Impression Trays are dental instruments used to create an accurate replica or mold of a patient's teeth and surrounding oral structures. They are part of the supply class Dental Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies.

Dental impression trays are typically made of plastic or metal and come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different areas of the mouth. They are used in dental procedures such as taking impressions for crowns, bridges, dentures, and orthodontic appliances.

During the impression-taking process, the tray is filled with a dental impression material, such as alginate or silicone, which is then placed in the patient's mouth. The material sets and hardens, capturing the exact shape and position of the teeth and gums. This impression is then used by dental professionals to create accurate models or molds for further treatment planning and fabrication of dental restorations.

Dental impression trays are essential tools in dental practices and play a crucial role in ensuring precise and comfortable dental restorations for patients.
