A secure method for making removable dies.

Removable dies greatly facilitate fixed prosthesis fabrication and accurate marginal fit. The major difficulty when using removable dies is the correct positioning of the dowel pin in the stone base. This article describes a method for preparing removable dies that ensures accurate positioning of the dowel pin and provides external landmarks for precise location of the cuts to be made with the die saw. The method described is accurate, simple, inexpensive and can be performed in the dental laboratory.

The occlusal plane indicator: a new device for determining the inclination of the occlusal plane.

Accurate determination of the inclination of the occlusal plane is important in a number of situations, and includes confirming the correct development of the dentition in children, providing a basis for nonanatomic tooth design in the preparation of fixed prostheses, and assisting in decisions as to whether to perform intrusions or extrusions. This article describes a simple device for determination of the inclination of the occlusal plane.
