1. **State the problem:**
Calculate how much a patient will pay out of pocket for a $170 minor procedure if the deductible of $100 has not been paid.
2. **Understand the insurance terms:**
- Deductible: The patient must pay the first $100 before insurance coverage applies.
- Minor Restorative coverage: Insurance pays 80% after deductible is met.
3. **Calculate the out-of-pocket cost:**
- First, the patient pays the $100 deductible fully.
- Remaining cost after deductible: $170 - $100 = $70.
- Insurance covers 80% of $70, so patient pays 20% of $70.
4. **Calculate patient's share after deductible:**
$$\text{Patient pays after deductible} = 0.20 \times 70 = 14$$
5. **Total out-of-pocket payment:**
$$\text{Total patient payment} = 100 + 14 = 114$$
6. **Final answer:**
The patient will pay $114 out of pocket for the $170 minor procedure if the deductible has not been paid.
