In order to get the best result while contouring a wax denture base, it is important to not only understand how contour relates to tooth emergence and root position, but also depends on the correct technique, instruments and materials to accomplish the task. Creating an imitation of nature is the goal, but providing a wax-up that projects nature which also balances being cleansable and provides natural support is the real art. This presentation will explain/demonstrate thru hands on and Powerpoint my take on:The instruments best suited for the tasks, and how to implement them.Wax manipulation.Simple colorization of wax to portray value.How wax selections effect overall carving.Tooth position and imitating contour.Contouring is about more than around teeth.Being natural vs. being cleansable.Tooth shape modification.
