Abstract

A two-stage impression technique that uses polyvinyl siloxane and irreversible hydrocolloid in a custom impression tray is described. The technique records the tissues to be contacted by the facial prosthesis with minimal distortion with the patient in an upright position and facial musculature at rest. The procedure is simple, accurate, and it eliminates some of the shortcomings of other techniques.
