Bite trays are used in dental procedures to simultaneously capture upper and lower teeth impressions along with the patient’s bite registration. These trays help ensure accurate occlusion records for crowns, bridges, dentures, and other restorations. They are available in disposable plastic, metal, and mesh-backed designs, bite trays come in various types such as full-arch, quadrant, anterior, and posterior trays. Mesh-backed trays allow impression material to flow through, creating a secure lock for better stability. Rigid metal trays prevent distortion and are reusable after sterilization, making them a durable option.Bite trays streamline the impression process by reducing the need for separate upper and lower impressions, saving both time and material. Their lightweight and ergonomic design ensure patient comfort while maintaining precise occlusal records. Proper tray selection and technique are crucial to achieving an accurate, distortion-free impression that leads to well-fitting restorations.
