[QUOTE="ztech, post: 293945, member: 3022"] I personally do not use an arbitrary pin opening to equilibrate the models. The reason to do the equilibration is to correct for the different inaccuracies of impression and modelling materials. I do not use a pin after mounting on cases that have the majority of the dentition in occlusion. After mounting the models, i check the contacts of the models, looking specifically for contacts in the areas that have facets. I also asses the accuracy of the mounting at this point. I then mark the contacts and reduce those contacts until all facets are in solid contact. Then after fabrication of the restoration I reduce the restoration contacts until I have slight drag on shimstock and a solid hold on all facets. My clients ( all but the one who doesn't make provisionals into occlusion) say they use polishing points for the patients who come in with the provisionals intact. [/QUOTE]
