title: A dual purpose impression and porcelain cutback guide.
abstract: Proper communication between the dentist and technician is essential for optimum clinical results. Contour requirements for multiple ceramometal restorations cannot be adequately described with a written laboratory authorization. A technique is described where this information is transmitted to the laboratory by means of a stone cast. The impression used to form the cast can be modified for use as a porcelain cutback guide for ceramometal framework fabrication.
