3 - Boxing, pouring, & trimming casts
why do we box the impressions?

to preserve peripheral rolls that we've worked so diligently to create

back to the MFP (mean foundation plane) is parallel to the bench top
what do we do to form the matrixes around each impression?
50-50 mixture of dental plaster and pumice flour, with a 1:1:1 water ratio
how do we want to seat the maxillary tray/impression into the pumice/plaster
mixture?
center it and push all the way down, allowing the mixture to lay in the same
plane as the peripheral rolls
- you can either work the mixture right up to the top of the peripheral rolls, or
work mixture up toward the top of the rolls but only to the point where there is
still 5mm of peripheral rolls above the crest of the mixture

of 6oz water

cup of 6oz water (a little less than 1.5 cup)
