About sprue bases and rubber formers
A crucible former is the base to which the sprue former is attached while the wax pattern is invested. It is a convex rubber, plastic or metal base that forms a concave depression, the crucible, in the investment.
A casting ring is a metal or silicone tube in which a refractory mold is made for casting dental restorations. In the lost-wax technique a wax pattern is surrounded with a refractory slurry that sets, the pattern is removed by heat, and metal or ceramic is cast into the mold that is left.
How casting rings, ring formers and sprue bases differ
- Casting Rings — The metal or silicone tube that holds the investment.
- Ring Formers & Patterns — A removable form used in place of a steel ring.
- Sprue Bases & Rubber Formers — The base under the ring that shapes the funnel for the metal.
What to look at when choosing
Ring or ringless: in one study of nickel-chromium copings, conventional casting with a ringless investment system gave a significantly better marginal fit than casting with a metal ring.
Size: rings and formers are listed by size, and the bases by the ring they fit.
