2. Decreasing the space for the
luting agent. Die preparation Provision of space for the luting agent 1. Increasing the space for the luting agent. •Increased polymerization shrinkage of the impression. •Use of solid cast with individual die system. •Use of initial layer of soft wax in the wax pattern. •Use of die spacers •Increased expansion of the investment material or mold. •Removal of metal from the fitting surface. Die preparation Provision of space for the luting agent 1. Decreasing the space for the luting agent. •Decreasing the polymerization shrinkage of the impression. •Use of resin die. •Use of alloy with higher melting temperature. •Reduced expansion of the investment.

4. Die spacer CLASSIFICATION OF DENTAL WAXES INLAY WAX Used to form the general predetermined size and contour of an artificial dental restoration which is to be constructed of a more durable material as cast gold alloys, cobalt-chromium-nickel alloys. CLASSIFICATION OF DENTAL WAXES
Pattern wax Type I Type II
Hardness Medium hardness Softer hardness
Uses Direct in oral cavity Indirect on the die
Solidification Solidify at mouth Solidify at room
temperature temperature Composition of the pattern wax
(40-60%) (1%) candelilla wax 25% Function Main -Reduce flakes Raise the melting Provide color component -Improve temperature contracts smoothness Ideal Requirements of Inlay wax • When softened, the wax should be uniform. There should be no graininess or hard spots in the plastic material.
• The color should contrast with the die.
• There should be no flakiness or roughening of the
surface when the wax is molded after softening.
• The wax should not pull or chip during carving.
• During burnout(500°C), it should vaporize completely without residue.
• The wax pattern should be completely rigid &
dimensionally stable at all times until it is eliminated.
• It should be sufficiently plastic slightly above
mouth temp. & become rigid when cooled at mouth temp.
• The flow should be more than 75% at 45°C &
less than 1% at 37°C. Properties Flow: Type I : when heated at 45°C,melts & flow cools & hardens at 37°C. Type II : it hardens at 25-30°C. more suitable for laboratory work
Thermal Properties: thermal conductivity: Low COTE: High. Wax Distortion: • Most serious problem Due to release of stresses in the pattern. • To avoid : 1.use warm instruments for carving. 2.minimal carving and change in temp. 3.minimal storage of pattern.(Invest immediately). Excess residue (0.1%): For the sake of accuracy in the object produced, if excess residue remains after melted wax is removed, inaccuracies may occur.

If the waxing procedure is followed in a sequential order,
operators should have no problem achieving excellent results.
With more experience, they can combine and modify
some of these steps. Identify each step of full metal crown construction in the following diagram? What are the primary components of inlay casting waxes?
