The fitting accuracy of dental prostheses is largely dependent on the precision of themodels. Yet this is the very area in which the natural expansion of the plaster consti-tutes the greatest source of error. The effects of plaster expansion are evident in thepatient’s mouth in problems with the fit of prosthetic work, such as tension areas.

After sawing or separating thetooth arch, the pins again fit intothe drill-holes.The cut section serves as anexpansion joint to accommodatethe expansion, which is nowrestricted to just the individualsegments, thus no longer caus-ing distortion of the tooth arch.The segmented model thereforeoffers a precision basis for per-fectly-fitting work.

Using the Giroform base platemeans that the model isalready half finished. The baseplate is expansion-resistant,saves one working step andprevents plaster expansion.Prior to using the plaster, thepinhole is set into the baseplate, recording the position ofthe individual segment.The high-precision homoge-nous plate material providesfor smooth drill holes and guar-antees precise pin guidance.The flat surface of the baseplate enables simple control ofthe segment position via aneasily recognizable light gap.Cost-effectiveness is furtherincreased by the possibility tore-use the base plate and theretention disc.
