A new procedure for separating the edentulous distal extension portion from the master cast when an altered cast is made.
Making an altered cast requires separating the edentulous portion from the rest of the master cast. A plaster saw, which is commonly used for this purpose, requires considerable time and effort. A simplified and efficient procedure is presented for separating the edentulous portion from the rest of the master cast without the use of a plaster saw.
