DOWEL PIN - SNAP FIT TECHNIQUE: A NOVEL SPLIT CAST TECHNIQUE

Complete denture construction comes with a lot challenges both during the clinical and laboratory steps. Lab remounting is one of those steps it is done to mount the master cast back in position after acrylisation of the complete denture to undergo selective grinding. But the conventional methods used for this technique have not been good enough to hold the master cast in place in a stable manner. The novel technique introduced in this article uses dowel pins for remounting, and it provides a more stable, reliable and snug fit technique without making the technique any more complicated.
