Define the following:

If you pull a spring with too much force and it has passed the yield strength, it won't recoil back to the same position. This is similar situation when the impression passes through the undercuts of both soft and hard tissue. The impression can be permanently distorted, if there were significant hard/soft tissue undercuts.
