I would observe that I think second guessing is a healthy part of any well controlled process and the goal of this framework is certainly not to restrict second guessing, rather itâs to improve judgment quality and thereby the acceptability and credibility of the judgment with those charged with second guessing them.
They can be flat root, fillet root, or major diameter fit. The purpose of this type of spline is to allow for angular misalignment between the shaft and mating detail. This is accomplished by crowning the male tooth. The tooth (usually) has a symmetrical crown about the centerline of the spline face-width.
Typically with deeper pockets and extensive rough root surfaces, the deep scaling and root planing procedure might be broken down into quadrants of work per appointment. For example, the upper right side of the mouth might be worked on one day, and the three other parts worked on at separate appointments. Or alternatively, one half of the mouth (right or left, upper or lower) might be cleaned per appointment.
