Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dental Times, 1866, Vol. 3: A Quarterly Journal of Dental Science In making a model plate of this substance, the prepared gutta percha may be softened by dry heat, or preferable in water at a temperature above 150° F. The model should be saturated with cold Water, this pre vents the gutta percha from adhering and injuring the face of the model; the softened gutta percha is then pressed down firmly with the fingers, wet with cold water. In arranging blocks or gum teeth, the approximal faces should be fitted accurately, and, when practicable, with a very thin wheel, cut grooves in the base and approximal faces; the rubber flowing into these grooves materially assists the pins in retaining the teeth in their position, and in many cases I rely as much upon the grooves as upon the pins.
