ABSTRACT:
A procedure is disclosed for ensuring a uniform thickness in a wax sheet (18) placed over the contoured surface of a preliminary plaster cast (10) in the process of manufacturing dental prosthetics. The sheet (18) has a plurality of uniform diameter spheres (22) distributed throughout the sheet to provide tactile and visual confirmation of uniform thickness. The advantages can also be applied in the manufacture of a custom impression tray (24) or trial denture base or orthopontic retainer (25) of an acrylic material by putting particles of uniform diameter into the acrylic mix. The particles can be precured acrylic which reduces the shrinkage of the acrylic in the tray as it hardens, and maintains the structural and chemical integrity of the finished product as the filler particles chemically incorporate with the powder and liquid mix.
