they should only be removed without causing overheating once the restoration has been completed.

Holding pins

In order not to damage the crown wall during
processing, the crown and bridge frameworks are
provided with holding pins. They are directly
attached to the framework with the help of wax.
Dimensions of Ø 0.5–1.0 mm for the holding pins
have proven to be useful. They can be used to
secure the framework by means of holding clips.
Furthermore, the holding pins also act as cooling
struts during casting and firing.
