ABSTRACT

Aims & Objectives-

The process of beading and boxing of complete denture impressions prior to their pouring serves many functions of which the reproduction of the width and depth of the sulcus recorded in the impression to the cast is the most vital. The use of elastomeric materials for impression making is very prevalent in contemporary prosthetic practice. The wax bead and box method is the most common method used. However, the wax cannot adhere well to the silicone and a poor bond results. A new method to improve the adhesion of wax to elastomer by using an intermediary layer of autopolymerising resin is suggested.

Materials & Methods-

A new method to improve the adhesion of wax to elastomer by using an intermediary layer of autopolymerising resin is suggested.

Results-

A new technique for the beading and boxing of elastomeric impression materials has been suggested. Keywords: Elastomeric, Impressions, Beading, Boxing.
