Descriptive cross-sectional study identifies materials in dental impressions, highlighting trends in techniques used by practitioners.

76.9% of participants were practicing fixed partial dentures (FPDs), with most using stock trays.
For complete dentures, 61.5% used alginate for primary impressions, while 72.3% relied on zinc oxide eugenol for final impressions.
