need 2.4mm of interproximal reduction. Models and

54. Trimming excess stone from the mandibular heel.
The wax bite registration should be in place when trimming
occluded Models.

55. Squaring tool to trim the mand base so that it is parallel to the
Max base. Here the height of the mand (32 mm) should be maintained

58. Buccal segments are trimmed at an angle of 55 degrees.
The distance should be 5mm from buccal surfaces of the teeth
