Taking wax impressions of patient's upper or lower teeth - involves shaped mould plate and initially flat place holding plate

摘要

The mould may be used for taking wax impressions of a patient's teeth. A flat place holder plate may be used, which may have a variety of different shapes. Further shapes may be used for the mould plate, which may fit the row of teeth in the upper jaw or the lower jaw. The teeth (8) may fit into a trough (7) which may be filled with wax (12), and as the patient bites on the wax it forms an impression of the teeth and overflows (13) out of the trough. The place holder plate (11) deforms and ends up fitting over the teeth. USE/ADVANTAGE - Easy taking of impressions of patient's teeth.
