Sumario:One of the most challenging steps in dentistry is taking final impressions for full mouth rehabilitation of a dentate patient. Final impressions should include the necessary details needed to fabricate a definitive cast. This cast will be used to construct indirect restorations in the laboratory. Besides all the improvement of impression materials and systems used for taking final impressions, the intraoral cavity is a challenging environment and there are some cases that prevent clinicians from recording the needed details in a single final impression. The objective of this case report is to describe a technique for fabrication of a definitive cast for a full mouth rehabilitation case by using resin-transfer coping impression technique. This technique is used as an alternative option for cases that prevent the clinician from capturing all the needed details in a single full-arch final impression.
