Abstract

An accurate working cast with removable dies is essential to make a well-fitting restoration. The prepared tooth, the surrounding soft tissues& the adjacent & opposing teeth should be accurately reproduced to decrease the number of clinical steps and to improve the accuracy of working cast/die system. A cast die system captures the necessary information so that it can be transported to the laboratory.
