A Custom Tray is a patient-specific, individualized impression tray used in removable denture fabrication to take an accurate final impression of the edentulous arch. Unlike stock trays, which are generic, custom trays are designed to fit the patient’s mouth precisely, ensuring better adaptation, tissue support, and denture fit.

• Material: Typically made from acrylic resin, light-cured resin, or thermoplastic material.

• Purpose: Provides a stable, uniform thickness of impression material for precise recording of edentulous ridges, alveolar anatomy, and soft tissues.

• Application: Used for full dentures, partial dentures, and flexible dentures to create a working cast for denture fabrication.
