What the AI looks for in Dental Modeling Wax
- Wax type for the job
- Baseplate or set-up wax for dentures; inlay or modeling wax for castings and pressing; sticky wax for joining; utility wax for boxing Each type has different flow, hardness and burnout behavior.
- Clean burnout
- Waxes for lost-wax casting or pressing should be labeled as residue-free on burnout Residue causes casting defects and pressed-ceramic flaws.
- Temperature stability
- Baseplate wax should resist softening at mouth temperature during try-in Soft wax lets teeth shift and distorts the recorded bite.
- Color contrast
- Choose colors that contrast with the die material Contrast helps you read margins and wall thickness.
Brands that matter

- Renfert: GEO modeling and dipping waxes.
- Kerr: Lab waxes, including sticky and utility types.
