The best contour gauge with lock is the one that is most useful for a professional. These tools are used by dentists and professionals to make very precise measurements on dental teeth, crowns, and veneers, as well as on the lip edges and other places where a professional can get precision. This equipment can cost several hundred dollars, but it is well worth having because it allows the professional to make very precise contouring work. Here are some pros and cons of these tools.
For professionals, a contour gauge comes in handy. First of all, because it has several thousand pins, there are literally thousands of ways to run the pins through it. These pins can be run horizontal or vertical. The horizontal ones will run horizontally over the surface and the vertical ones will run vertically along the surface. There are even some that can be run diagonally across the surface.
Because there are so many different combinations of pin placements, the contour gauge with lock is perfect for taking many measurements simultaneously. For example, if the professional needs to take a picture of the inside of a particular tooth, then he can easily take that picture while using the profile gauge and the contour gauge locks. Next, there is the depth gauges. These look just like the basic profile gauges except they have a hole on the side where plastic pins can be inserted. These plastic pins can then be slid into the holes on the other side of the holes on the profile gauges. Thus, the technician can run numerous measurements simultaneously.
Using a Contours gauge you measured in millimeters, inches, and centimeters. The best-suited plastics to run the steel pins through are those that can be easily removed and reused. In other words, if the technician needs to take another measurement of the same area, he does not have to drill the same holes again and therefore saves considerable time and effort. He can reuse the plastic pins and use them again for subsequent measurements.
To find out which contour is best suited for the tight corners, the technician needs to know the measurement of the area of the tight corner. Next, he should check out the general tools that are available for measuring contours. The basic profile gauge and the tight corners must be used for these purposes. The general tools include the straight edge, the square, the compass, and the tape measure.
Next, the measurements of the tight corners must be done by using the profile gauge and the straight edge. The measurements can be done from one side to another of the inner edge by using the square and the compass. If the straight edge is too short, the inner edge will be measured from the inside edge of the top layer of the contour and the straight edge should be long enough to encompass this measurement. If the straight edge is too long, the measurement from the inside edge will be measured from the middle of the contour to the outer edge of the thickest part of the profile gauge.
After the measurements have been made, they can be compared with the data entered in the control panel to identify the best-suited contour. The best-suited contour is the one that meets the specifications of the customer. He can use either the standard or the duplicator gauge for the purpose. The standard gauge is easier to use. The data entered in this case has a higher accuracy as the machine has a standard machine feed. The duplicator gauge on the other hand can produce a more sturdy design when the necessary adjustment is made to the feed.
When it comes to the lock on the contour gauges, it has advantages and disadvantages. The lock ensures that the profile does not move while drilling. This reduces the instances where the drill moves sideways leading to inconsistent drilling. In addition to this, the lock offers greater accuracy than the standard gauge when it comes to tight corners.
