Wax Try In
The teeth are to be set, festooned, and checked off by an
instructor prior to the patients appointment.
Set the teeth with the appropriate curve of Spee and Wilson.
Important if a balanced occlusion is to be achieved.
Festooning
Clean the wax off the teeth showing the proper amount of tooth.
Bulk the wax for the desired amount of lip support.
Makes a difference how much of the anterior teeth will show.
Base Plates
They are made on the soft tissue areas,
therefore are not transferable to different
casts of the same arch.
Purpose:
To completely seat the prosthesis.
To eliminate sore areas.
Disclosing Wax
Used to adjust a RPD framework.
How it is used:
Place on the hard tissue areas of the framework.

from seating completely.

Cord Packing
Push the cord into the sulcus at an angle that is
opposite to the direction the cord is being placed.
Prevents pulling the newly placed cord out of the sulcus.
Temporary Crowns
Good margin and contours are important to maintain
healthy gingival tissue.
Healthy tissue makes impressioning easier.
If the tissue is irritated it may recede when the permanent crown
is placed, exposing the margin or the root surface.
