Abstract

During construction of a denture and many other appliances, wax is used as a modelling material. Different types of waxes are used to prepare patterns for alloy castings. There are many varieties of waxes used, both in the clinic and laboratory. Each have particular properties depending on what it is used for. Their basic constituents are essentially similar, their exact proportion is different.
