I would go with 5-8. Watch it so you do not trim the teeth off th
plaster cast!

Impressions should extend far enough into the sulcus to allow accurate
reproduction of all soft tissue anatomy in the dental casts. The casts
should be trimmed in maximum intercuspation or in the intercuspal
position. Documentation of a significant difference between the
intercuspal position and centric relation should be provided; a bite
registration is preferred. Dental casts, each mounted on an adjustable
articulator, are also permitted; they should be mounted in centric
relation. Second molars should be fully erupted and in their final
position at the time the posttreatment casts are made.
Trimming or carving on the anatomical portion of the dental casts
should be limited to the removal of bubbles and defects. Alteration of
tooth anatomy is considered records falsification. A lower lingual
retainer, either bonded or banded, may be in place when posttreatment
casts are made. After the casts are prepared, they should be smoothed
and polished in such a manner that tooth and soft tissue detail is not
destroyed.

Thanks Roy, I agree. Its either 5-6mm or 349-350 millivolts.
