1. WAXES
Dental waxes are organic polymers consisting
of hydrocarbons and their derivatives.
Molecular weight ranges from 400-4000

9. CLASSIFICATION
According to ANSI and ADA sp no 4
Type 1 a medium wax. Used for direct

11. 2. Thermal properties
- Thermal conductivity
- Coefficient of thermal expansion
may expand 0.7% with an increase in
in temperature of 200
C
and contract as much as 0.35% when it is
cooled from 370
C to 250
C
- Average co-efficient of thermal expansion:
350 x 10-6 0
/C

12. 3.Wax distortion
- Elastic memory
This can result from thermal changes,release of stresses
on cooling,time and temperature during storage etc.
Other desirable properties of inlay waxes include:
- Color
- Residue
ADA sp no 4 requires that the melted wax when
vaporized at 5000
C shall leave behind no solid residue
in excess of 0.10% of the original weight of the
specimen.

13. Armamentarium
• PKT waxing instruments (no 1 to no 5)
• No 7 wax spatula
• Laboratory knife with blade
• Sharp colored pencil (contrasting to wax)
• Sable brush
• Bunsen burner
• Inlay wax
• Occlusal indicator powder
• Die lubricant www.indiandentalacademy.com
21. OCCLUSAL MORPHOLOGY
Cusp fossa Cusp marginal ridge
1. Location of occlusal
contact on opposing teeth.
Occlusal fossae only. Marginal ridges and
occlusal fossae.
2. Relation with opposing
tooth.
Tooth-to-tooth Tooth-to-two-teeth
3. Advantages. Occlusal forces are directed
parallel with long axis of the
tooth. These forces are near
the center of the tooth,
placing very little stress on
the tooth.
Found in 95% of all adults.
Can be used for single tooth
restorations.
4. Disadvantages. Rarely found in natural
teeth. Used when restoring
several contacting teeth and
teeth opposing them.
Food impaction and
displacement of teeth may
arise if functional cusps
wedge into a lingual
embrassure.
5. Application. Full mouth reconstruction. Most restorations in daily
practice
Classification of occlusal arrangements

26. WAXING TECHNIQUE
There are two wax added techniques for waxing
occlusal surface of restoration.
1st
technique given by E.V. Payne
H.L. Lundeen promoted the same technique using
wax of a different color for each of the features.
Usually associated with cusp-marginal ridge
occlusal scheme
2nd
technique given by P.K. Thomas
Most often associated with cusp-fossae occlusal
scheme www.indiandentalacademy.com
