I would like to hear opinions about the fit of a PFM bridge framework on a solid model as compared to the pinned working model.
If the bridge is waxed on a pinned model, and the casting fits perfectly back on the pinned model, should it also fit the solid model?
Will the fit on the solid model be dependant on the length of the bridge, number of abutments, angle of preps and other factors?
I have heard that when the dies are sectioned on the pinned model there is a micro dimentional change in the die stone and the
casting may or may not fit the solid model. I am also aware that there are many pinning systems, and the stability of the dies
in the stone or plastic base can very.
I am finding the bridge that fits the pinned model also fits in the mouth, but may not seat fully on the solid model.
I have also heard that a bridge casting will only fit the model it was waxed on
