A technique has been described for fitting a removable partial denture framework to the master cast prior to adapting it in the mouth. Emphasis should be placed on maintaining the original contour of the framework throughout the procedure. The amount of metal removed should be only that necessary to seat the casting on the master cast without abrading the stone. When finishing the tooth-contacting surfaces on the casting, very light pressure should be used to burnish the rough surfaces, not reduce them. If these steps are accomplished carefully in the laboratory, the dentist should be able to fit the framework in the mouth in a minimum of time (Fig. 7).
