PREPARATION OF MASTER CAST

Wax Trimmer

Waxing the master cast:

1- Blocking-out the undesirable undercuts:

A- Paralleled blockout:

Proximal tooth surfaces to be used as guiding planes

Beneath all minor connectors Tissue undercuts to be

crossed by rigid connectors Tissue undercuts to be

crossed by origin of bar clasps

Deep interproximal spaces t

B- Shaped blackout Ledges for location of reciprocal clasp

Ledges for location of retentive clasp arms

C- Arbitrary blockout (Smoothed arbitrarily with wax spatula

All gingival crevices Gross tissue

undercuts Labial and buccal

tooth and tissue undercuts not in volved in denture design

2-Relief Beneath lingual bar Areas in which major

connec tors will contact, thin tissue

Beneath framework extension onto ridge areas for attach ment of resin bases

3-Tissue Stops Two small squares of

2 mm, usually an anterior and posterior, of relief wax is removed at the distal end the edentulous ridge

4-Formation of internal finishing lines are carved in the relief wax covering the

edentulous ridge at the metal resin junction. This line is trimmed with blade held at 900 to the cast surface in order to produce a sharp junction having a uniform depth of at least 1mm.
