TRANSFER COPINGS MADE OF A VISIBLE LIGHT-CURED RESIN

The treatment of complex fixed partial dentures and multiple-unit castings often requires intermediate procedures for the transfer of tooth relationships from the patient's mouth to the working model. Transfer copings used when multiple teeth have been prepared and the individual dies require accurate seating on the working cast. Transfer copings are commonly made of autopolymerizing acrylic resins. The use of these materials may present difficulty. A technique for making transfer copings by use of a visible light-cured resin is presented.
