  84. 84. Summary Accurate working casts and dies are essential to successful restorations. There are various techniques and materials that provide an extremely precise reproduction of the prepared tooth. The die of the prepared tooth can be made removable by the use of dowels or other more convenient system. Alternatively, a solid working cast and separate die can be used. Whatever system is chosen, it must articulate precisely with an accurately made opposing cast
