The malleting force is directed______________?

Correct answer: C. 45° to the wall

  • A. Perpendicular to the walls
  • B. Parallel to long axis of crown
  • C. 45° to the wall
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

A malleting force directed at about 45° to the wall helps condense direct filling gold against the wall without driving the material away from it. A purely perpendicular force is less effective for adapting the gold to the cavity wall.
