Making a primary impression for partial dentures
-------------------------------------------------

Having reviewed anatomical landmarks and operator positioning (in my previous posts), we will now explore the fundamentals of taking a primary impression.

Primary impressions for partially dentate arches should:

• Record the full remaining dentition and denture bearing area (DBA)

• Capture the functional sulcus depth

• Ideally account for any limiting anatomy

• Show no voids, drags or air blows

• Show no tears or detachment from the tray

• Be central in the tray with an even thickness of material

When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it no longer receives stimulation from chewing. As a result, the body begins to break down the unused bone — a process called bone resorption.

Research shows that up to 25% of the jawbone can be lost within the first year if a missing tooth is not replaced. This bone loss mainly affects the alveolar bone, which supports the teeth, and it progresses most rapidly during the first 6–12 months.

Over time, bone loss can lead to shifting teeth, bite problems, facial changes, and difficulty placing dental implants later. What starts as a single missing tooth can gradually affect overall oral health.

Replacing missing teeth early — especially with options that restore chewing forces — helps preserve jawbone strength, facial structure, and long-term dental health.
