tooth
• 3.
ONE
max/mand

9. SelecHon
of
teeth
• sound
and
caries-‐free
teeth
• presence
of
early
or
small
cavitated
carious
lesions
is
acceptable
as
long
as
the
defect
is
NOT
affec$ng
the
shape
of
access
cavity.
• Serrated
roots
are
also
unacceptable
10. SimulaHon
• Moun$ng
of
natural
teeth
• To
ensure
that
the
selected
teeth
are
suitable,
please
show
them
to
the
supervisors.
• Prior
to
mounHng
the
teeth
into
the
plaster,
place
a
small
red
boxing
wax
onto
each
of
the
root
end
to
enable
the
apex
of
the
tooth
to
be
radiographically
visible.
• These
teeth
are
to
be
mounted
into
a
block
of
plaster
of
paris.
Wood
chips
need
to
be
added
into
the
plaster
to
ensure
that
the
plaster
block
is
slightly
radiolucent.
• The
selected
teeth
must
be
arranged
according
to
their
respecHve
aches
according
to
sextants:
• 17-‐14
13-‐23
24-‐27
• 47-‐44
43-‐33
34-‐37
• Example:
upper
anterior
teeth
are
to
be
arranged
in
one
plaster
block
with
their
labial
and
palatal
sides
appropriately
arranged.
This
also
applies
to
the
buccal
sextants.
Occasionally
you
may
find
that
you
may
have
to
mount
tooth
in
single
block.
If
this
happens
be
sure
to
place
the
radiographic
film
against
the
palatal/
lingual
side
of
the
tooth
always.
