Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Boxing and utility waxes are commonly used in dentistry for taking and pouring impressions. They are called boxing waxes because they are used to make a box or a frame around the impression material to create a clean and well-defined margin. Utility waxes are used for various purposes, such as creating undercuts, adding bulk, or filling voids. Sticky waxes are used to attach objects to teeth and orthodontic appliances. Corrective impression waxes are used to modify the impression after it has been taken. Bite-registration waxes are used to record the patient's occlusion or bite relationship.
