Abstract: An arrangement for a dental impression appliance which has a reception channel adapted to the shape of the human jaw for receiving impression materials. The channel is horseshoe-shaped with open and closed sides. The reception channel, furthermore, is bounded on one side by a base plate and along its inner and outer edge by sections extending or turning upwards from the plane of the base plate. The sections are provided on the inside of the reception channel and have retention edges directed away from the base plate. The sections have undercuts in the area of the channel side that is open. The impression appliance is in the form of a one-piece plastic molded part with the retention edges directly molded from the sections extending from the plane of the base plate. A handgrip extends outward from the base plate on the closed side of the horseshoe shape.
