1. DENTAL WAXES

1. Define dental wax. Classify dental waxes and describe in detail the composition, properties, and uses of inlay wax. Key Points to Cover: Definition: Dental waxes are thermoplastic materials used in dentistry for pattern-making, recording, and laboratory procedures. Classification: Pattern waxes (e.g., inlay, casting, baseplate wax) Processing waxes (e.g., boxing, utility, sticky wax) Impression waxes (e.g., corrective, bite registration wax) Inlay wax: Composition: Paraffin, carnauba, gum damar, beeswax Types: Type I (direct technique), Type II (indirect) Properties: Flow, thermal expansion, good carving Uses in crown and bridge work 2. Classify dental waxes and write in detail about baseplate wax. Key Points to Cover: Classification as above Baseplate wax: Composition: Beeswax, paraffin, resins, synthetic waxes Types: Type I, II, III (based on hardness and climatic use) Uses: Record base fabrication, occlusal rims, trial denture setup Properties: Dimensional stability, sufficient rigidity, ease of contouring 3. Write in detail about the ideal requirements and technical considerations of dental waxes used in pattern fabrication. Key Points to Cover: Ideal properties: Controlled thermal expansion Excellent flow at working temperature No residue on burnout Good carving and polishability Technical considerations: Avoid overheating Proper manipulation to prevent distortion Storage and handling precautions Importance in achieving accurate cast restorations
