ARTIFICIAL CROWNS. 521 Upon its being ascertained that the cap, with pin attached, is in itsproper position in the impression, a plaster cast can be obtained,which, with a cast of the occluding teeth, should be placed in anarticulator. While the writer believes it to be the most accurate, whenmaking single crowns, to grind and adjust the tooth in the mouth, Fig. it frequently happens, from lack of time or other-reasons, that it isnot practicable; then the impression should be taken as directed. From this point succeeding steps will differ according to thecharacter of crown to be inserted. If it be an incisor, which is tohave a porcelain front, a plain plate tooth of suitable size, shape,and shade should be backed with pure gold, ground to positionupon the anterior portion of the cap, and united to it by adhesive Fig. 413.
