![]() The Template impression technique offers the practitioner a simple and efficient method to perform pediatric impressions. Figure 10 shows the band and loop appliance intraorally prior to its removal upon eruption of the permanent molars. The fixed unilateral space maintainer was cemented with Poly-F Plus cement (DENTSPLY), completing the treatment. The model was sent to a commercial lab for the fabrication of a band and loop space maintainer from teeth Nos. To reduce cost and time, the model was poured in our in-house lab, but the practitioner has the ability to send the impression directly to the lab. The impression was disinfected and poured with standard dental stone (Figure 9). The TempTray with Template was removed, retaining the band that had been placed on tooth No. The material was allowed to set for about 30 seconds and then was placed in the mouth and allowed to set for 30 seconds (Figure 7). TempTray (Figure 5) loaded with Template (Figure 6) was utilized for the impression. Band and loop appliance cemented intraorally. Impression of dentition and band.įigure 10. Thirty-second intraoral impression of band and loop.įigure 8. Placement of Template into TempTray.įigure 7. Before the impression was taken, the separator was removed, and a stainless steel band was fitted on tooth No. 65 and 26 following the extraction and maintained for a few days prior to the impression (Figure 3). 65 and 26.8 A separator (Figure 2) had been placed between teeth Nos. 64 was extracted due to nonrestorability (Figure 1), and a unilateral band and loop space maintainer was treatment planned to prevent the unwanted mesial drift of teeth Nos. ![]() Position of separator intraorally.Ĭonfirm the necessity of a space maintainer by proper diagnosis. The technique will be presented in detail.įigure 3. For simple, unilateral, fixed space maintainers, the author suggests using a TempTray with Template. The technique is a modified impression technique using solely Template. The author has developed the pediatric application through clinical trials. Clinician’s Choice has not indicated pediatric applications for TempTray or Template. It is very thixotropic, does not slump, and has excellent dimensional stability. Template (Clinician’s Choice) is a silicone-based material that has a working time of 30 seconds and a set time of 30 seconds. The TempTray is utilized to fabricate custom temporary restorations. TempTray (Clinician’s Choice) is a disposable aluminum quadrant tray for temporary prosthodontic impressions prior to tooth preparation.
