title: Temperature ofthe pulp chamber during impression taking of full crown preparations with modelling compound.
abstract: Temperature elevations were measured in the pulp chamber of full cast crown preparations during impression taking with modelling compound in copper bands. Uncontrolled flaming, controlled flaming, and water heating of the bands produced temperatures of 53, 44, and 41.5 C, respectively. The time involved in restoring the temperature in the pulp to 37 C was determined. The implications of delayed chilling are discussed.
