M0 step 5 of 6 · Printed grid card and sectioned putty index

Photograph the prep on the grid card

Print the grid card at 100% and check the 50 mm bar with a ruler. Take three photos, occlusal, buccal and lingual, with the tooth centred and all four corner squares in the frame. The buccal photo shows the sectioned putty index seated on the prep.

Target
Putty clearance: ≥ 1.0 mm
Why
The 1 mm grid turns the photo into millimetres; putty clearance is read on the buccal photo.
Watch
A corner square out of frame and the photo cannot be measured.

After the lesson: Retake the photos and score again on the 5 checkpoints.
