sharp scalpel, preserve tooth structure immediately apical to finish line

Do this before mounting casts on the articulator:
utility wax or baseplate wax over the pins/ end of the dowels (remove the red plastic capillaries) (no scoring?)
46
Why do we place utility wax over the dowels/ pins?
to separate them from the mounting stone (articulator will be upside-down for mounting)
47
Mounting working cast:
wooden sticks to hold in occlusion, wet cast with paper towel (no scoring?)
48
How to place the wax:
sectionally or from #18-#30, peel off after mounting stone is smoothed
49
What is used for slow speed mixing on the Vac-U-Mixer?
drive chuck
50
Black knob on Vac-U-Mixer:
Vibrator
51
What should be with the lid (lead) of the Vac-U-Mixer?
O ring
52
Metal piece sticking out of lid (lead) of the Vac-U-Mixer:
slotted drive nut
53
Before using the Vac-U-Mixer bowl, make sure:
it is dry
54
Mix __ mL of water with the Jade Stone:
15.5 mL with 70g of stone
55
True or False? you must mix the Jade stone before using the Vac-U-Mixer.
T, 20-30 seconds
56
Rotate the bowl in this direction to lock the Vac-U-Mixer in place.
clock wise
57
Why should you press the bowl and lid (lead) of the Vac-U-Mixer together?
to seat bowl on O ring in lid (lead)
58
Connect what to what after closing the Vac-U-Mixer lid (lead)?
metal nozzle (at end of vacuum hose) to top of lid (lead)
59
How to start the Vac-U-Mixer:
insert slotted drive nut into drive chuck, starts automatically
60
Why do we move the manual switch to the on position during mixing?
so pump continues to run after the Vac-U-Mixer is disengaged Why? Ask
61
The vacuum gauge of the Vac-U-Mixer should be between:
25 and 30
62
Mixing time for plaster, stone in mixer (check): Microstone?

don't!

% expansion of Jade stone:
18%
90

92
Working time when pouring up the definitive impression:
5-7 minutes
93
How do you avoid trapping air bubbles when pouring up the definitive impression?
debubblizer and adding stone a little at a time
