Abstract
The proximal contacts of 40 subjects were evaluated by passing the shim stock through them. The shim stock passed through 92% of contacts. The shim stock passed through 90% of natural contacts and 82% of restored contacts. Neither sex nor age displayed a significant correlation to shim stock passing through contacts. It was easier to pass the shim stock through natural contacts than through the restored ones.
