If Impression tray comprising of elastomeric impression material is seated too late as elasticity starts to develop, raised seating pressure is applied to overcome the stiffness of impression material. Because of recovery of excessive elastic deformation there is development of distortion
The die produced in the inaccurate impression is too narrow and too short.

Oral PathologyMyositis ossificans generalisata (fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva) causes progressive ossification of muscles, tendons, and ligaments, leading to a "petrified" or stone-like condition where the patient becomes immobilized. This rare genetic disorder progressively restricts movement as soft tissues calcify. Dystrophic myotonia, dermatomyositis, and proliferative myositis do not cause this petrification process.

Physiology
Gastric chyme, which is the mixture of food and gastric juice, is highly acidic due to the presence of hydrochloric acid secreted by parietal cells. The pH typically ranges from 1.0 to 2.0 when it enters the duodenum. This acidity helps to denature proteins and provides the optimal environment for pepsin activity. Once in the duodenum, the chyme is neutralized by the secretion of bicarbonate from the pancreas and bile from the liver.
