Use the supplied calipers to measure the width of the residual ridge in the first molar region. Accu-Dent Mandibular Impression Tray Type Tray Selection Trays #20-24 are designed with a high distal rise to help accommodate the severely resorbed ridge. Trays # 26-30 are designed with a moderate distal rise to accommodate the moderately resorbed ridge.
