The procedure for using dental stone sparsely changed over the years. There are two common methods for mixing dental stone: (1) a premeasured amount of dental stone is put in a zip-lock bag to which water is added, and (2) the water and dental stone are mixed in a bucket. These methods, along with the proposed method, were compared at equal conditions. The parameters measured were the number of air bubbles, the strength of the cast, the ease of use, and the sharpness and quality of the accidental characteristics present in the cast. The proposed bottle method has the advantages of both the bucket and the zip-lock methods hence it combines strength, sharpness, high quality, and ease of use. (Published Abstract)
