Features

Consistency and Flow: Blue inlay wax is formulated with a specific consistency that allows for easy handling and manipulation. It has an optimal flow when heated, enabling precise shaping of intricate details in the dental restoration pattern.
Dimensional Stability: The wax exhibits good dimensional stability, ensuring that the patterns created maintain their accurate dimensions during the fabrication process. This is crucial for the proper fit of inlays and crowns in the final restoration.
Burnout Properties: Blue inlay wax is designed to have favorable burnout properties, meaning it leaves minimal residue or ash when subjected to high temperatures during the casting process. This is essential for achieving clean and accurate castings.
Compatibility with Investment Materials: The wax is formulated to be compatible with various dental investment materials, facilitating a smooth casting process. This compatibility ensures that the wax pattern can be invested properly without negatively affecting the quality of the final restoration.
Ease of Carving: The wax is formulated to be easily carveable, allowing dental technicians to create precise and intricate details in the restoration pattern. This is especially important for achieving accurate anatomical contours and occlusal surfaces.
Low Shrinkage: Blue inlay wax typically exhibits low shrinkage during cooling, minimizing the risk of distortion in the final pattern. Low shrinkage is crucial for maintaining the accuracy of the restoration’s fit.
Adaptability to Direct Technique: The medium variant of blue inlay wax is often employed in the direct technique, where the wax is directly applied to the prepared tooth to create a pattern for the restoration. This variant offers the right balance of pliability and stability for this application.
