A technique for fabricating dies.

A technique for fabricating dies without using a die saw has been described. The technique saves the time consumed in sawing the dies and eliminates the hazards of using a die saw. It is particularly advantageous when little space exists between dies since the Zolnowski matrix band is thinner than the thinnest saw blade. The band can be easily placed in the tightest interproximal spaces and can be secured in place with a minimum amount of sticky wax. The technique can be used for crowns, fixed partial dentures, and indirect inlays.

Dental Casting Technique↗

Methods to preclude aspiration or swallowing of dental appliances.

A technique which precludes the swallowing of dental restorations during fitting and cementation has been described. An alternative technique is to spot-weld a small loop or wire to the finished crown. Dental floss may be attached to the loop. Another method is to attach a piece of unwaxed floss to the completed crown with Eastman adhesive 910. The floss is removed after the restoration is cemented.
