Modelling Wax (Base Plate Wax)

It is a type 2 low-fusing wax used for the indirect wax technique. It is made of low-molecular-weight esters of fatty acids derived from natural or synthetic components, such as petroleum derivatives, that soften at a relatively low temperature (45-55°C).

Colour:
It comes in various shades such as pink, light pink, and red.

Type:
Soft, Medium, Hard & Extra-hard.

Intended Use:
Fabrication of occlusal rims, spacer to protect the relief areas and to establish the initial arch form in the construction of complete dentures, fabrication of trial denture base in the process of making a complete or partial dental prosthesis, production of gypsum casts, non-metallic denture bases, registering of jaw relations, and laboratory work.

Properties & Advantages:
· The wax does not fragment into flakes when molded after softening and provides a framework for registering jaw relations and arrangement of the prosthetic teeth.
· The wax attains a plastic state at room temperature, hence during the trials the teeth do not get displaced from their defined layout as per the patient’s jaw model under the ideal working pressure of try-in models.
