Background: Various implant impression techniques has evolved for the fabrication of implant retained prosthesis, such as the splint, pick-up, transfer techniques etc. and each technique has got its own limitations and selection of a specific technique depends on the evaluation of a particular patient and clinical situation present. Purpose: The purposes of this review were to: (1) highlight the various techniques of implant impression making, (2) merits and demerits in the fabrication of implant supported prosthesis, 3) selection of an appropriate technique for the corresponding clinical situation present.
Conclusion: A variety of impression techniques for the fabrication of implant supported prosthesis have evolved in the past decades. Selection of a specific technique depends on the evaluation of a particular patient and the clinical situation present.
