Laboratory Techniques: Fundamentals

Base techniques are particularly important because they provide the foundation for good quality end products. By mixing modern and traditional techniques, high levels of accuracy are ensured.

 

Base techniques include:

 

An Amann Vacumix.

Mixing plasters, investments and silicones

Using an Amann vacuum mixer to mix plaster for casting.

 

 

 

A cast model.

Casting models

Models perform many functions.

Die trimming using a Mantis magnifier.

Die trimming

Die trimming under magnification helps to provide clear margin preparation.

A model mounted on an articulator.

Mounting models

Mounting models on articulators for treatment planning and bite accuracy.

A sectioned die that has been prepared with wax.

Wax preparation

Using a dip technique to apply hot wax (which is then sculpted). This technique is used when casting metal substructures.
