PREPARATION OF MASTER CAST
Wax Trimmer
Waxing the master cast:
1- Blocking-out the
undesirable
undercuts:
A- Paralleled blockout:






Proximal tooth surfaces to be
used as guiding planes
Beneath all minor connectors
Tissue undercuts to be
crossed by rigid connectors
Tissue undercuts to be
crossed by origin of bar clasps
Deep interproximal spaces t

B- Shaped blackout


Ledges for location of
reciprocal clasp
Ledges for location of
retentive clasp arms

C- Arbitrary
blockout (Smoothed
arbitrarily with wax
spatula



All gingival crevices
Gross tissue
undercuts
Labial and buccal
tooth and tissue
undercuts not involved in denture
design




2-Relief
Beneath lingual bar
Areas in which major
connectors will
contact, thin tissue
Beneath framework
extension onto ridge
areas for attachment
of resin bases


3-Tissue Stops
Two small squares of
2 mm, usually an
anterior and
posterior, of relief
wax is removed at the
distal end the
edentulous ridge


4-Formation of internal finishing lines
are carved in the relief wax covering the
edentulous ridge at the metal resin junction. This
line is trimmed with blade held at 900 to the cast
surface in order to produce a sharp junction
having a uniform depth of at least 1mm.
