Dentists use it to capture tooth shape, bite relationships, and gum contours for planning and fabrication. It is commonly used for crowns, bridges, dentures, clear aligners, mouthguards, and study models. An impression can be made with a soft setting material in a tray or with an intraoral scanner (digital impression)."}
