With the predictable integration of implants, the emphasis is shifted towards precise prosthesis. Reproducing the intraoral relationship of implants through impression procedures is the first step in achieving an accurate, passively fitting prosthesis. The critical aspect is to record the three dimensional orientation of the implant as it is present intraorally, other than reproducing fine surface detail for successful implant prosthodontic treatment. The development of impression techniques to accurately record implant position has become more complicated and challenging. During the prosthetic phase of implant therapy there are numerous options available to the implantologist in relation to different impression techniques and materials available for impression making. It is critical to ensure that implant – prosthesis interface have passive fit and original position of the implant maintained in the master cast. There is no evidence supporting that one impression technique or material is better than the other. In the present article the various parameters affecting the accuracy of implant impression along with impression material and technique pertaining to different clinical situations is reviewed.
