Custom Trays • Individualized trays for making final impressions • Made on a diagnostic cast
Purpose of a Custom Tray • Improve retention (border molded) • Minimize: • Impression material distortion • Uniform thickness • Rigid tray
Purpose of a Custom Tray Minimize: • Tissue distortion • Less viscous material • Accurately adapted tray • Costs • less impression material used
Extension • 3-4 mm short of the peripheral role • Diagnostic casts often overextended (irreversible hydrocolloid)
Block-Out Undercuts • Baseplate wax • Prevent tray from locking onto cast • Lubricate cast (Petroleum jelly or Alcote)
Wax Spacer • Minimizes hydraulic pressures • Do not place relief over blockout • Already relief in those areas • Provides room for impression material
Auxiliary Handles Mandible • For stabilization • Orient the tongue • Area of 2nd premolars / 1st molars
Finish • Do not polish - adhesion • No holes until border molded
Custom Tray Videos • Outlines for Custom Trays • Custom trays
Border Molding • Performed with • Thermoplastic modeling compound • Waxes • Impression materials
Heat Source for Compound Hanau Torch for resoftening of borders already on tray Bunsen Burner or Butane Torch for Initial Softening of stick
Tray Wax Spacer • Remains in place during border molding procedures
Wax Spacer • Keep out of hot water bath to prevent melting • Difficult to replace tray intraorally in the same position • Results in uneven border molding
Tempering Compound • Temper in a water bath (135-140°F) for several seconds • Prevent burning • Hot water bath will keep compound soft for an extended period
After Removal • Chill in cold water • Trim excess over wax spacer or external material that is thicker than 4-5 mm • Clean debris from tray
Assessing Peripheral Role • Proper thickness • No overlap
Mandible • More difficult • Changing position of the floor of the mouth
Posterior Buccal Areas • Pull cheek upward while holding tray in place • Have patient suck cheeks inward while holding tray in place
Retromolar Pad • Should be covered (at least partially) to provide a seal and comfort to the patient
External Oblique Ridge • Don’t extend past • Palpate cheek at angle of the mandible • Smooth transition between mandible & border - not palpable
Buccal Extension • Look for fold in vestibule
Retromylohyoid Space • Distolingual border can extend • Straight down from the retromolar pads • Anteriorly to varying degrees • Almost never angles posteriorly from retromolar pads
Posterior Lingual Areas • Denture should not lift with normal tongue movements
