Framework try-in
Try-in the framework in the mouth to confirm a passive fit and the appropriate design for functional contacts and the optimal soft-tissue condition.

A try-in is recommended when large restorations are fabricated. The try-in of the final metal framework is performed before finalizing the restoration. The try-in can be regarded as optional in cases involving small restorations.

Framework try-in, step 1

1. Remove the healing abutment or the temporary restoration.

Framework try-in, step 2

2. Try-in the bridge in the mouth. Use a slot screwdriver and light finger force to screw-retain the framework to the restorative platform. The try-in should confirm a passive fit and an appropriate design for functional contacts and the optimal soft-tissue relation.

An X-ray examination can verify the junctional integrity between the framework and the restorative platform.

The framework is returned to the dental technician to be finalized.
