About bite registration wax
Bite registration wax is softened and closed into to make a registration: a record of how the jaws relate, used to relate casts to an articulator. Dental wax is softened before the bite is registered.
Baseplate wax is a hard wax used for making occlusion rims, for waxing dentures and for other dental procedures. Wax is also used to make a pattern of a patient's bite; the FDA lists intraoral dental wax as a Class I device (21 CFR 872.6890).
ISO 15854 is the standard that classifies casting waxes and baseplate waxes and sets their requirements.
How baseplate wax and bite registration wax differ
- Baseplate Wax — The hard sheet wax for occlusion rims and for waxing dentures.
- Bite Registration Wax — Softened and closed into to record how the teeth meet.
What to look at when choosing
Accuracy of a wax record: in a study of four recording materials, dental wax showed the greatest dimensional change over time. A review attributes this to the high thermal expansion of waxes and to stress release as they cool.
Why wax is still used: it remains the most often used recording material in routine practice for its affordability, adaptability and simple handling. The same review found the data consistently support mounting the casts shortly after the record is made.
Form: the wax on this shelf comes as sheets, blocks, wafers and sticks.
