Determining the accuracy of stock and custom tray impression/casts

J Oral Rehabil. 1998 Aug;25(8):645-8. doi: 10.1046/j.1365-2842.1998.00306.x.

Abstract

A study was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of casts made from stock tray and custom tray impressions using polysiloxane impression material. The results indicate that all casts distort but that impressions made from custom trays were more accurate and consistent in reproduction than were stock tray impressions.
