Mounting:: The Laboratory Procedure of Attaching Cast To An

1. The document discusses the laboratory procedure of mounting dental casts to an articulator. It describes preparing the articulator and casts, including aligning the midline and making cuts in the casts. 2. The process of mounting the upper cast is then explained in 7 steps, including securing the occlusion rim to the cast with wax and pouring plaster over the base. 3. Mounting the lower cast is described next, including securing the lower occlusion rim and ensuring no posterior interference between casts. The completed mounting is then checked for proper alignment. 4. Potential errors in mounting like an improperly secured record base or posterior interference of casts are also outlined.

Mounting

Mounting: The laboratory procedure of attaching cast to an


articulator or cast relater.
Preparation of articulator:
In mean value type with fixed condylar path and incisal incline (CL II)
articulator:
1-the articulator should be clean from any remnant of previous
plaster
2-the incisal pin should be flushed (level) with the top of upper
member of articulator to give zero reading.
3-the mounting table should be properly fixed to the articulator.
Preparation of the casts and mounting the upper cast
1-Determines the midline of the cast according to the midline of incisive
papillae and continue this line posteriorly all around the cast
2-With laboratory knife from 3 or 4 V shaped
cuts on the base of the upper and lower casts so
as to facilitate the laboratory remounting the
cuts should be approximately 1\4 inch deep and
1\2 inch wide . Then lightly coated the base of
the cast and the cuts with Vaseline or iny
separating medium
3-The base plate with occlusion should be
sealed to the cats by wax
4-Alignment of the midline of the
occlusion rim (upper) to the center
of the cross midline which found
on the mounting table anteriorly
and posteriorly , so that the cast will
be centralized to the mounting table
and the occlusal rim fixed to the
mounting table by wax
5-Enough space should be present between the base of the
cast and the upper member of the articulator to
accommodate for the plaster material over the cast, if
there is no enough space trimming should be done to the
base of the cast.
6-Palster is mixed according to the
correct w\p ratio and mixed
according to the manufacturer
instruction then the plaster is
poured over the base of the cast
and the upper member is closed
until the pin touch the incisal table
7-Smothing and polishing of the plaster
is done. The mountings should be
cleaned and any debris removed from
the articulator and mounting table
Mounting the lower cast:
1-The centric relation is taken from patient mouth
2-The lower occlusion rim should be well secured to the lower cast
with it record base by the using of the wax, also sealing should
be done between the upper and lower occlusion rim
3-Care should be taken that there is no posterior interference
between the upper and lower cast (Healar`s area)
4-Plaster is mixed and poured over the base of the lower cast and
the articulator is closed until incisal pin touch the incisal table.
Then the plaster should be smoothed and polished
After setting of the plaster the mounting
should be checked for:
1-The midline of upper cast should be
coinciding with midline of
lower cast and midline the
of articulator.
2-Centralization of upper cast with
upper member of articulator then the
centralization of lower cast which
depend on accuracy of the upper cast
3-Incisal pin checked if it does not touch
the incisal table
4-Healer`s area checked if there is any
contact
Errors occurred during mounting:
1-The record base is not properly secured to
the cast.
2-Interference of the cast posteriorly .
3-The incisal pin is not properly screwed.
Thank you for your
