Abstract :

The �conventional casting� technique has been used since long time, and it has become common practice in dentistry after it was documented by Taggart in 1907. The conventional casting is time–consuming and requires approximately 2 to 4 hours for completion. There have been numerous reports mentioned to perfect the casting procedure in dentistry after improvisation in dental material science. Accelerated, nonstandard casting technique has been reported in an effort to achieve similar quality results in comparison to conventional casting technique significantly in less time that is approximately in 30 to 40 minutes. Although researchers have documented that, accelerated casting technique can be successfully employed for the faication of post and core and single full crown restorations, but on reviewing and critically analyzing the literature it is found that there is further scope for the studies, to know about the success of the accelerated casting technique to achieve quality cast restoration and fixed partial dentures.
