Abstract
Success of complete denture depends on accuracy of the complete denture impression. A survey was conducted to know about the material used and the techniques practiced by private dental clinicians for making the complete denture impression. 57% private clinicians use stainless steel perforated dentulous stock trays, 17`% private clinicians use base plate for custom tray, 79% private clinicians use alginate and 20% the zinc oxide eugenol and 1% light body condensation silicone for secondary impression making. Cidex was used by 12% clinicians for disinfection and the rest used to rinse the impression under tap water. Private clinicians used easier methods for manipulations of less expensive impression materials for impression making.
