Dental casting waxes are primarily used in the wax-up technique; this can include sculpturing, build up and inlay work. Different vendors may produce dental casting waxes specifically made for certain applications. Depending on the application being performed, research which wax may be the best fit for your dental laboratory. A variety of colors are available. Most dental casting waxes contain no synthetic material and have high molecular density, this allows the wax to have excellent sculpting characteristics, quick cooling down and the ability to remain opaque even when molten to lend better control during wax-up. Solidification point of dental casting wax varies between vendors. Dental casting wax may come in a variety of forms, from pearls to breakable bricks as well as multiple colors. If the first dental casting wax chosen does not live up to its expectations, try another type, each technician might have a different preference and what works for one may not work for another.
