    <formatted_text>The surveyor uses a carbon marker to identify the height of contour.

- **True height of contour**: The actual widest part of the tooth relative to the path of insertion.
- **False height of contour**: An incorrect marking, often caused by the carbon marker being positioned too high on the tooth or using an incorrect tool angle.</formatted_text>

## Path of Placement - Techniques

- Roach technique
- Bisector or Roth technique
- Applegate technique

    <formatted_text>There are three primary techniques used to determine the path of placement:

1. Roach technique
2. Bisector (or Roth) technique
3. Applegate technique</formatted_text>

## Roach technique

- Perpendicular to an insertion plane (occlusal plane), defined by three points on the model.

**Limitation:** The long axes of the teeth are not perpendicular to the occlusal plane</text>
    <formatted_text>The path of placement is set perpendicular to an insertion plane (occlusal plane), which is defined by three points on the model.

- **Limitation**: The long axes of the teeth are often not perpendicular to the occlusal plane, which may lead to poor results.</formatted_text>

## Bisector or Roth technique

- The path of placement will be the average of the inclination of the supporting teeth

**Mesiodistal**  
**Buccolingual**</text>
    <formatted_text>The path of placement is determined by the average inclination of the supporting teeth, considering both:

- Mesiodistal inclination
- Buccolingual inclination</formatted_text>

## Bisector or Roth technique

- The path of placement will be the average of the inclination of the supporting teeth

Limitation: difficult with multiples supporting teeth</text>
    <formatted_text>#### Bisector or Roth Technique Limitations

- **Limitation**: This technique becomes increasingly difficult to apply when there are multiple supporting teeth with varying inclinations.</formatted_text>

## Applegate technique (convenience)

- Establish the best incline of the cast where the height of contour of the supporting teeth is located between the gingival and middle thirds or the position that favors the mouth preparation.

## Applegate technique (convenience)

- Establish the best incline of the cast where the height of contour of the supporting teeth is located between the gingival and middle thirds or the position that favors the mouth preparation.

**Limitations:**
- Operator experience
- Previous planning</text>
    <formatted_text>#### Applegate Technique Limitations

- **Operator experience**: Requires significant clinical judgment.
- **Previous planning**: Success depends heavily on thorough initial case analysis.</formatted_text>
