Correcting Tooth Contact
NOTE: If tooth contact pattern is comparable to
the correct pattern illustration, no correction is
necessary.
If tooth contact pattern is comparable to an incorrect
pattern, correct tooth contact according to the follow-
ing chart.
Tooth Contact
Contacts at Top
Contacts at Root
NOTE: To correct tooth contact, steps 1 and 2
(with NOTE) of "Correcting Backlash" must be fol-
lowed and the above "Tooth Contact/Shim Correc-
tion" chart must be consulted.
! CAUTION
After correcting tooth contact, backlash must again
be checked and corrected (if necessary). Continue
the correcting backlash/correcting tooth contact
procedures until they are both within tolerance val-
ues.
