Wonder Wax

Product Description and Features:

Wonder Wax is an ash-free, crown and bridge build-up wax of the highest quality and purity. Wonder Wax is supplied in 70 grams tins and is available in five colors:

• Blue
• Gray
• Ivory (for diagnostic wax-ups & temporaries)
• Translucent White (for incisal and special effects in case presentations)
• Light Tan

In addition to the unique range of colors available, DVA’s Wonder Wax distinguishes itself from other dental waxes by its unique physical properties of minimal shrinkage and clean, sharp carving ability.

One characteristic of all waxes is its tendency to shrink as it converts from a melted to a solid state while cooling. Shrinkage causes distortion, especially around the margins of the pattern – and accurate margins are a necessary feature of all dental restorations! As Wonder Wax shrinks less than any other wax known to DVA, it offers a very desirable feature.

Wonder Wax’s ability to be molded, shaped and carved while cooling is an incredible feature. Again, DVA knows of no competitive wax displaying this special ability.

Tech Tips & Product Maintenance

1. DRILLING UNIFORM HOLES: Drill each hole with a consistent speed and pressure on the drilling table, making certain to drill each hole at least two or three times in rather quick succession. The theory is the first drilling makes the hole, the second refines the hole size and shape, and the third time removes any debris.
2. MARKING PIN LOCATIONS: The new Alignment Fixture eliminates the need to pre-mark the pin locations with a marking pen prior to drilling. Contact DVA for information and instructions.
3. PROPER PIN INSERTION PRESSURE: Excessive pressure in the seating of each dowel pin into the drilled hole will result in undesirable frictional retention when the poured stone locks the two pins together. Light pressure is all that is required on each pin to create a stable die that is easily seated and removed.
4. STABILITY for LARGE, MOLAR DIES: Additional stability in large molar dies or a last molar contact tooth may be achieved by placing three dowel pins in a triangle fashion within the molar component. Placing only two pins in a mesial, distal pattern will also aid in stability.
5. SMALL ANTERIOR DIES: When the die size prevents the placement of two pins, simply drill only one hole per die. Using a small, round or inverted cone burr cut groves in the base directly behind the drilled hole creating an anti-rotational notch into which the the poured stone can be keyed.
