Wax knives
A Dental Wax Knife instrument is used during preclinical prosthodontic procedures like fabrication of rims, teeth setting and late stages of removable partial denture construction to eliminate or block out areas of undesirable undercuts with wax on the cast before the framework is made. It is also used during block out procedures and in the construction of surveyed restorations. A hand instruments used by the dentists during different dental treatments, presentations or demonstrations within the laboratories are used for carry or mix the wax and softening the base while teeth settings. These are wide bladed and of various shapes and sizes.
Small wax knife: Most commonly used in the fabrication of crowns for placing and carving inlay wax. Large wax knife: Used for melting, placing and carving modelling wax in the production of dentures. Again it is common to see two knives being used, a cold and a hot knife.
