Abstract
Abstract A model for a dental prosthesis is formed as a segment of a casting which is severed from the body of that casting by lateral cuts and by a plate imbedded in the casting. The plate, defining a parting surface between the body of the casting and the segmented model, has a noncircular pedestal which positively orients the model with reference to the body and forms a socket for a dowel serving for the temporary retention of the model on the body.
