title: Diagnostic casts--an additional dimension.
abstract: The indications and usefulness of diagnostic casts are well documented in the literature. A method is presented that enables increased access to the lingual aspect of the casts by sectioning them in a midsagittal plane. The sectioned portions are held together in maximum intercuspation by acrylic keys. The interdigitated casts can thus be examined from all aspects, thereby deriving maximum benefit from them.
