title: Technique to verify the accuracy of a definitive cast before the fabrication of a fixed dental prosthesis.
abstract: This report describes a straightforward technique for verifying the accuracy of a definitive cast by using a maximal intercuspation record fabricated from polyvinyl siloxane occlusal registration material. This precise verification method detects inaccurate casts before the dental prosthesis is fabricated, thus saving chairside and laboratory time while reducing the number of costly prosthesis remakes.
