Dental Waxes
 Ester of fatty acids derived from natural and synthetic
components ,such as petroleum derivatives .

 Composed of natural or synthetic components

 Used in Clinics or Labs for a variety of applications

3 .Casting Wax
 Processing Waxes
1 .Sticky Wax
 A type of wax that exhibits relatively
good adhesion to dry clean surfaces
whan is heated .
 Used for to align fracture parts of
acrylic dentures.
2 .Boxing Wax
 Used to form 1.5 inch wide base
portion of gypsum model.
3 .Utility Wax
 Used to extand impression tray
borders.

Composition of Wax
paraffin wax (m.p) 60%
Carnauba wax 20%
Ceresin Wax 5%
Gum dammar (smoothness,toughness) 3%
Bees Wax (flow) 5%
Synthetic resins (flow) 2%
 Composition Of Waxes
Dental waxes are composed of natural and synthetic waxes ,Gums,Fatty
acids, Oils
Natural waxes are derived from minneral,vagetabe,and animal organs
Synthetic waxes are chemically synthesized from natural wax molecules and
are typically composed of hydrogen ,carbon ,oxygen ,and chlorine.
Chlorine agents are added for contrast of wax pattren against tooth ,die,and
model surface.
Some formulations contain a compatile filler to control expansion and
shrinkage of wax product
 Desireable Properties of wax
1 . The wax should be uniform when softened.
2 .The colour contrast with die materials or prepared teeth.
3 .The wax should not fragment into flakes or similar surface particles when
it is molded after softening.
4 . The wax must not pulled away by the carving instruments or chip as it is
carved or such precision cannot be achieved.
5 .The wax pattern should be compltely rigid and dimensionally stable at all
times until it is eliminated.
6 .Expantion shringkage of wax are extremely sensitive to temperature.
7 .Soft wax shrinks more then hard wax.
 Wax distortion
1 .Distortion of a wax pattern results from occluded air in the pattern.
2 .Physical deformation (during molding,carving,or removal)
3 .It is important that wax pattern be retained on the die for several hours to
avoid distortion and ensure that equilibrium condition are established.
4 .Storage of a wax pattern for too long can lead to a distortion of its form
because of stress relaxation effects.
5 .A casting will fit most accuratly when the pattern is invasted immediatly
after its removal from the preparation .
Dental Wax Technique
Indirect Technique
• Pattren is fabricated over the
prepaired toothin the die or
cast .
• Made using type 2 wax.
Direct Technique
• Some dental restoration, such
as inlays, may be produced by
direct wax pattern technique in
which the inlay wax is adapted
and shaped in the prepared
cavity in the mouth.
