The purpose of this research was to evaluate the clinical acceptability of various impression thechniques by comparing the dimensional accuracy of their working casts. An original metallic model was designed for this experiment. It has reference points to overlap and compare the master model and the working casts for measuring their dimensional accuracy under the same condition. The amount of distortion in each area of the working casts was examined by the measuring points within the model. The master model simulated an abutment for a full veneer crown with undercuts between the adjacent teeth. It was planned so that the amount of undercuts and distances between the adjacent teeth could be changed. As a result, a small distortion of the working casts due to the undercuts was observed by the technique using an individual tooth tray and polysulfide rubber base impression material. There was no significant dimensional change in the working casts made with silicone rubber base material. For the working casts made by hydrocolloid-alginate combination technique, the dimensional change was greater and distortion was observed in the abutment cast when the undercuts of the adjacent teeth were great. However, the distortion was less when the undercuts were small.
