Bite registration preparation
Keep the following recommendations in mind as you prepare bite registrations:
1
Place the bite registration material so that it completely covers the preparation surface.
• The bite registration material should not cover the adjacent teeth. If it does, trim to the interproximal after
the material sets.
• There must be sufficient data of the adjacent teeth in the scans of the preparation and the bite registration
in order for the two models to align.
• Ensure there are no gaps between the bite registration material and the adjacent teeth.
Have the patient bite down firmly or press the articulated model down firmly for the impression.
2
If trimming of the bite is needed to expose more of the adjacent teeth, trim the bite in the mouth. If you remove
and replace it, the bite registration material may not seat properly.
