    Plasticine and Weatherstrip Caulking Cord bested other materials for locating die dowel pin ends. These dental materials were evaluated on adherence, usability, cost, color, and availability by dental students.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental Materials Science
    • Biomaterials Engineering

    Background:

    • Accurate die dowel pin placement is crucial in dental prosthetics.
    • Identifying suitable, cost-effective materials for this purpose is an ongoing need.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate readily available plastic materials for use as logs in locating die dowel pin ends.
    • To compare materials based on adherence, usability, cost, color, and availability.

    Main Methods:

    • Six plastic materials were assessed.
    • Seven criteria, including adherence and usability, were evaluated.
    • Cost, color, and availability were also considered.
    • Forty-two sophomore dental students performed 84 evaluations.

    Main Results:
