Modeling Technique Flashcards
The process of constructing a solid three dimensional from by many additions of a pliable material such as restorative wax.
- The feature from a mass is impractical
Modeling
The linear form of the head or features.
Silhouette
Turn the model and the construction until a line is visible.
Use of the solhouette to accurately model surface form.
- First learn the concepts of modeling as taught.
- As we progress each of us uses our own technique.
- A thorough knowledge of stuctural relationships and the norm of each feature will help us to recognize any variation and recreate it.
- Only when we have developed our own technique can we safely “borrow” from others.
Development of technique
Any support or framework employed in a restorative treatment.
Armature
- Splints
- Wire
- Certain sutures
- Cotton saturated with:
- Plaster of paris
- Liquid sealer
- Cardboard
- Pliable metal plates
Types of Armatures
Never begin modeling without adequate preparation first.
- Analyze the situation
- Anticipate problems
- Determine a plan of operation
Analyzation Before Modeling
When modeling, you determine this and stay within their limits.
- Involves three dimensions.
Size
- Length
- Width
- Projection (most difficult)
Dimensions of Size
Correct spatial relationship of features.
Position
- Bone structure
- Facial proportions (also determines size)
Useful in determining position
The external shape
Form
- Knowledge of structural relationships
- Object analyzation
- Manual coordination
Achievement of Form
- Exact measurements of length and width must be marked on the wax surfaces.
- Long shallow lines are marked with a spatula.
- These lines can be erased by rubbing a finger over them when the modeling is completed.
Landmarks of Size
Whenever 2 or more measurements are made in the same direction, be sure they are made from the same point.
