The bridge framework

• A good dental impression with bite registration
• Model with removable dies (plaster quality: Class 4)
• Minimum requirement of semi-adjustable articulator
• Clearly marked preparation margins on tooth die

 Production of wax or acrylic copings

• Dipped wax coping – quick, inexpensive production
• Acrylic coping – stable, stress free crown base

 Die Preparation using “Die Lube”

1. Spacer lacquer for cement gap of approx. 1 mm above the prepared margin
2. Die separating agent "Die Lube"

From the Star Wax family

Star Wax D – dipping wax – very elastic, low contraction, dipping wax.

Ideal wax temperature: 90°C

Dip the isolated die into the wax bath quickly, for approx. 1 second.

Acrylic copings made with Folident – foil coping adapter system

Consisting of:

• foil holder
• moulding pot
• coping foil – thickness 0.6 mm
• spacer foil – thickness 0.1 mm

 The spacer foil (0.1 mm) above and coping foil (0.6 mm) are clamped into foil holder.

Heat the foil over a Bunsen burner using circular movements.

Production of a Folident coping

The die is quickly pressed into the elastic clay.

Once the foil is cool the die is removed and coping cut out. The thin spacer foil is cut back adequately and the coping foil is placed over the top and shortened by approx. 1mm from the margin.

StarWax C – exact reproduction of the cervical margin

Apply the separating agent "Die Lube" and wax the margin with Star Wax C – cervical wax.
