Introduction: taking fixed partial denture impressions, silicon is better by adding dimension stability and a higher detail reproduction. Trays are required; they may be perforated metal stock or self-curing acrylic. Materials and

methods: we performed an experimental, comparative in-vitro study by sampling 10 plaster models got from ten impressions taken using five perforated metal stock trays and five self-curing acrylic trays, all of them made by stainless steel model simulating the lower jaw. Measuring plaster models and the stainless steel model was performed by a single operator through a stereoscope Nikon model CPs 160, Series 1005941. First, we calibrated the stainless steel model by measuring height and diameter of abutment teeth canines 33-43, first molars 36-46, the interpillar distance between 33-43 and 43-46. Then plaster models were measured and results compared using descriptive summary measures and averages based on Mann-Whitney test.

Results: none of the measurements taken on models based on both basin types revealed a statistically significant difference p > 0.5.

Conclusions: no statistically significant difference by taking impressions with perforated metal stock trays or self-curing acrylic trays.

Keywords: trays, dimension stability, impressions
