What Is A Dental Wax Carver?

A dental wax carver is a simple tool that allows the practitioner to easily mold any type of wax.

These are hand-held tools that possess different tips to shape the wax with highly accurate details.

A dental wax carver is shaped similarly to a pen. However, it has a metal tip at the bottom and upper part of the tool. Furthermore, these tips are usually shaped differently.

The dental wax carvers are lightweight. This makes them highly comfortable and easy to use. Also, they possess an ergonomic design that allows the practitioner to work for long periods without getting tired. The comfortable hold reduces the strain and stress on the hand. This reduces the risk of suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome.

Giunsa Nila Kini Nagpanginabuhi?

Dental wax carvers are simple tools. The practitioner can use them cold to cut or wear down the wax. This usually provides a clean and sharp cut.

However, most times, dental wax carvers are used hot or tempered. The practitioner heats the metal tip with a lighter, bunsen burner, or alcohol lamp. This allows him to melt the wax or a small portion of the carving. It also makes it easier to perform cuts on the wax.

As a result, the practitioner has more control over the carving process.

Nonetheless, there are electric versions of dental wax carvers. These carvers are connected to a control unit and use electricity to heat the tip.

Unsa man ang Ginamit Nila?

Dental wax carvers are used in any dental procedure that involves waxing, such as:

● Crowns and bridges waxing: The carvers allow the clinician to wax the model and design the restoration. The waxed model can also be used to make the provisional restoration.

● Bruxism splints: The clinician can use the carvers to create the wax model of the splint and fix any details that might need to be corrected before the acrylic pressing process.

● Veneers waxing: The clinician can wax the dental model to design the patient's veneers. This waxed model is also used to create a mockup and the provisional restoration.
