Diagnostic wax up
For the Dr I put the patients name on it for him to present to the patient, without my name.
Big tissue defect.

What's the trick to not getting the waxes to flow into each other especially interproximally?

 

[Saluki]

Al,
What wax are you using for your diagnostic wax ups. They look great. Much easier to see contours than white diagnostic wax. Beautiful

Maybe your waxed is too hot ? Wax too soft so it dosent stay where you put it ? It is going to flow together some just carve it out

Renfert Geo "Natural ". My favorite its about an A1 shade.

Al, how long did it take you to do that wax up? Just curious.

Well done! So it is Hodges - finally got your last name.
Will know to look you up in the area if ever a chance.
Want to shake your hands and can got back to say I finally touched the hands of the Almighty . . .

Did you stain around the mamelons with darker shade wax?
I use the Geo Natural - got it from Schein and not even expensive.

I really don't know, My guess though 1 and half to 2 hours ?

Ugh when it rains it pours.
Can be slow one minute then covered up the next.

Put an attachment and rest sets because doc not sure about longevity of #28. So if it fails than that section is ready for a removable.
The female is on the molar.

Same case I posted the wax ups of a week ago.

 

[RileyS]

So cool
What is the last powder you use that makes the clear incisal go "cloudy?"

 

[dmonwaxa]

Its just you being misty eyed,,,

Oh regular incisal will cover it up I1 but if you don't want to loose all your effects dilute your incisal with OE1 or neutral or clear 50 50 and cover with that.

 

[Al.]

With photography you can make your cases look sexy !
And sex sells !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great work Al, and that is what DLN should be all about, great work, sharing and learning not inflated egos and who has the biggest. I learned a lot from your posting Al. But forgive me, when I fabricate model and dies I make sure the hight of dies at minimum beyond the prep line to prevent swaying and minimize interproximal contact issues. I understand in this case implants are involved.

I have on my computer and iPad many pictures of patients by their dentists and I have a file of pictures that says (Al's pictures) for guidence. Great work Al and this what dental lab technology should be all about. while many are competing for the race to the bottom, you are competing for the race to the top. ThanksCongrats

Al,

I wanna come up and shadow you for about a week, but during hunting season!

I'd love to watch how you do everything.

Kentucky right?
