An alternate procedure for making a remount cast for a locking type removable partial denture

This procedure describes the use of silicone impression material to make an index that will correctly position a hinge and latch removable partial denture when a remount cast is being made. This procedure ensures that the partial denture can be retrieved with the index without stressing the retentive components of the partial denture and the remaining dentition. Recovering the remount cast is easier because the latch can be released before the impression index is separated from the cast.
