Treatment Of Teeth With Intact Occlusal Morphology Using The Stamp Technique With Different Impression Materials: Case Report

The 'stamp' technique is utilized on teeth with a proper and stable occlusal surface to help replicate the patient's precise anatomy after the removal of decayed tissue, particularly in larger cavities. This method can be employed in various instances where the preoperative tooth anatomy remains intact before being affected by decay and ensures the restoration of both the aesthetic and functional occlusal characteristics, resembling the patient's natural tooth structure. In this case report, three different patients admitted to our clinic were clinically and radiologically examined and found to have class 1 and class 2 caries with intact occlusal plates. These teeth with caries were treated with the stamp technique using different impression materials to accurately reflect their anatomy. The treatment stages are presented with visuals.
