title: Index to reposition the metal framework accurately on the altered cast.
abstract: The relieved portion of a master cast below the major connector of a cast removable partial denture framework can be filled with dental stone to act as a third point of reference when the framework is reseated in an altered cast procedure. With this simple procedure, an index is formed that will allow accurate repositioning of the metal framework on the altered cast.
