A
  • Used to recreate facial features such as the nose or ear.
  • Used to fill large cavities and model features
  • Will hold its shape once molded
  • Least adhesive of any of the waxes
  • Basket weave suture is quite often used as a base for firm wax reconstruction
  • When restoring deep cavity excisions, its used to fill the cavity to within approximately one-quarter inch from the surface where a soft wax is then used

  • Used to correct lip separation that has occurred due to dehydration
  • Applying a small amount of lip wax to corners of the mouth can create the illusion of a shortened line of lip closure
  • Primary among them is that the underlying tissue must be thoroughly embalmed making it firm and dry

Q

Lip Wax (cont)

A
  • Ideal waiting time before applying wax is between 8 and 10 hours after the embalming procedure
  • Small areas such as abrasions, fever blisters, skin slip areas, and 2nd degree burns, the tissue can be injected hypodermically using a cavity fluid or phenol solution
  • Moist surface areas should be covered with phenol or a cavity pack to dry up the moisture
  • Quick drying liquid sealer, such as super glue is preferred although such sealing agents as hobby cement, clear nail polish, or rubber cement can be used
  • Pore effect can be created in the wax by using a damp paper towel, damp gauze, or damp terry cloth
  • Some restorative artists prefer stippling
