location of SPRUE

attached, should, attached, should, flare

A
  • attached to portion of pattern w/ largest cross-sectional areas and away from the thin/delicate parts
  • should be located so as not to obliterate centric occlusal relationship
  • attached to nonworking cusp
  • should not be attached at right angle or sharp angle to broad flat surface – turbulence of metal – suck-back porosity
