Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Waxes are used in dentistry in both therapeutic and laboratory procedures.There are various types of waxes available, but the most significant feature is that waxes are thermoplastic in nature that are strong at room temperature but are melted without decomposition to form fluids. Dental waxes are used in many dental treatments, such as wax designs for inlays, crowns, full dentures and partial dentures. They are also very useful for capturing bite impressions and edentulous parts of the oral cavity
