Modelling Wax / Sheet Wax / Base Plate Wax / Hard wax | Soft, Medium, Hard & Plasti Wax.

Baseplate wax is a durable substance used mainly to fabricate occlusion rims for dental construction into which denture teeth are arranged (IE. holding artificial teeth to baseplates) before laboratory processing and during fabrication of the denture.

Features:

It is a type 2 low-fusing wax used for indirect wax technique. It is made of low-molecular weight ester of fatty acids derived from natural or synthetic components, such as petroleum derivatives, that soften at a relatively low temperature (45-55°C).
The wax does not fragment into flakes when molded after softening, and provides a framework for registering of 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.
The wax melts out during the process of burnout/ dewaxing to create the mold space into which the acrylic is filled for making the final denture prosthesis
