Dental electric waxers are used to carve and shape dental waxes that can be used to mock up restorations or to burn out before casting. These benchtop systems use electricity to heat a metal tip, making it easier to carve and shape the waxes commonly used in dental labs and practices. Electric waxers can feature a range of heat settings and control options, as well as different types and shapes of tips. The handpiece should feel comfortable in your hand, and the heat should stay in the tip while the handpiece remains comfortable to hold and use.
