Yes, but "die" has special meaning to a dentist. You see, a dental die is the stone model of the tooth used to make various dental restorations including crowns and inlays. I have my dental laboratory return some dental dies to me before the restoration is made. I examine the die for accuracy, then I trim, and mark the edges of the die. This results in a much more exact fit of the restoration. Don’t all dentists do that? No, unfortunately many do not. The reason they don’t is because it takes more time. The dentist must schedule extra time during his day to examine and trim these dies. Is it worth it? I believe it is very much worth it. The mouth is a very harsh environment. Poor fit of the crown leads to gum infection and decay. A bad "die" could cause a tooth to die! and that's why I take the time for quality |
