Abstract

Forty cases of edentulous patients have been studied for the  functional activities of a prosthetic device. The patients were selected  from the outpatient Department of Prosthodontics of Dental Unit,  Rajshahi Medical College, Rajshahi. The aim of this study was to  overcome the limitation of the availability of paste impression  material as well as storage problem of the paste. No significant  difference was observed in male or female cases. Retention and  Stability tests were positive in 36(90%) cases, whereas, 4(10%)  cases showed lack of retention and stability due to reduced surface  area and irregular bony foundation.
