Taking the Impression

Impression of the lower dental arch is required for fabrication of Saliwell GenNarino.

Materials

1. Select a tray for the impression of the lower arch.

2. Make sure the tray extends to the distal and lingual aspect of the 3rd molar area (at least 1 cm away in each direction).

3. To ensure the stability of the impression, use polyether or polyvinylsiloxane.

Technique

1. Use either the two-stage impression technique (heavy body first and then light body) or the one-stage impression technique.

2. Apply adhesive on the impression trays based on the manufacturer's instructions.

3. Important: Be sure to include in the impression no less than 3 mm tissue lingually to the lower third molars (whether they are present or missing).

4. If your patient wears a lower removable prosthesis it is advisable to use Saliwell GenNarino without the prosthesis in the mouth, in order to ensure intimate and stable contact of the electrodes with the tissue lingually to the lower third molar area. Thus, impression should be taken while the patients does not wear the prosthesis.
