Q

What does waxing entail?

A
  • waxing up guideplanes
  • waxing up major connectors
  • etc.
17
Q

Why do you invest over the top of the wax?

A

Leaves a space for the wax to evaporate and the metal to get centrifudged in (forms the metal framework)

18
Q

Do you need to polish the metal framework or do you leave it?

A

Polish the metal!

19
Q

What do you mark on the master cast?

A

Survey line
Undercut areas

  • all design features are on diagnostic cast
20
Q

When do you make the master cast to send to the lab?

A

After tissue/patient modifications

21
Q

What happens to metal when it cools?

A

It shrinks

22
Q

Why do you make the framework a little bit at first?

A

After it cools it shrinks down

23
Q

What does freehand waxing sometimes lead to?

A

Different thicknesses in the components that could lead to some error in final metal framework thinkness

24
Q

What are the different ways to wax up and build the metal framework?

A
  • analogue
  • semi-digital
  • digital
  • 3D printed
