Regardless of the demonstrable success of fixed appliances like implants for the replacements of missing natural teeth in partially and fully edentulous patients, countable hindrances still persist. A crucial role is played by impressions used in the fabrication of dental implants for the success, durability and outcome of the restoration. An impression is a three dimensional negative likeness of the future position of the implant in the oral cavity. In view of the absence of periodontal ligaments that serve as natural compensators of the slight but significant details of the impression surface, therefore, impressions in implants are very crucial for implant success. Taking this factor into consideration, the present review article emphasizes on the different types of impression techniques used in implant dentistry.
