PLACEMENT OF THE IMPRESSION
EN
Trim all unnecessary parts of the
impression (reflection, palatal
roof) in order to obtain a dental
arch which is as low as possible
but still stable enough.
Note:
Heating of the blade facilitates
trimming of extremely viscous
polyether materials (Impregum,
Permadyne, etc.).
By manipulating the putty rim
and/or cube, the impression is
aligned with the dorsal part of
the impression carrier.
Tip: Place the clear adjustment
plate with inserted pin on the
aligned impression to check the
height of the dental arch. The
retention tip of the pin should not
touch the impression (distance:
approx. 3 mm).

Position the impression tray in the
dorsal area on a transversal rim
and in the area of the tray handle
on a cube sized 2 x 2 cm, both out
of Giroform Putty (576461).
Mark the saw cuts and drill holes
for the pins on the impression
material. Each removable seg-
ment has to be furnished with 2
pins (rotation!). Tip: In case of ill
spatial conditions, set only 1 pin
and mill a guidance groove into
the plate.

IMPORTANT:
Plan all adjacent teeth as
single segments since the
expansion of a long row of ad-
jacent teeth limits the approx-
imal area.
Insert the dove tail of the clear
adjustment plate - with split re-
tention looking upwards - into the
groove of the carrier and guide it
downwards.
Press the impression tray onto
the putty. Make sure that the split
retention looks upwards when
positioning the adjustment plate.
Insert the dove tail of the clear
adjustment plate into the groove of
the carrier and guide it downwards
while aligning the impression with
the center line, with the occlusal
plane, and with the vestibular di-
mension of the later dental arch in
relation to the plate size.

To adjust the fixing pressure that
holds the Giroform plinth plate in its
place, the allen screw (2.5 mm) is
turned in counter-clockwise direc-
tion to reduce the spring pressure;
if turned in clockwise direction, the
spring pressure increases.
