Product Name: Diagnostic Wax Up

Description: 

It is important to diagnose available space and occlusion for either the implant-supported single-tooth restoration or a fixed denture. Diagnostic casts and a diagnostic wax-up will enhance the predictability of the treatment.

The diagnostic wax-up is a tool that can be used for diagnosis and treatment of single-tooth implants , using wax or denture teeth set in wax. This tool provides important diagnostic information that will indicate whether a specific treatment is appropriate. It also assists in the selection of a proper restoration method and may indicate the need for orthodontic treatment or preprosthetic surgery. The diagnostic casts and wax-up can assist in estimating the amount of restorative space available and point out any need for treatment in the opposing arch to obtain such space. It can help in evaluating the planned occlusal scheme and indicate which modifications are needed in the remaining dentition. Additionally, the diagnostic wax-up can be used as means of communication between the clinician, the technician, and the patient.

• The following steps are part of the diagnostic casts and wax-up procedure:
• alginate impressions, occlusal records, if necessary a set of photographs
• fabrication of two sets of study models, mounted on an articulator (one to keep the original situation, one to use for the wax-up);
• diagnostic wax-up;
• communication between the clinician, the technician, and the patient illustrating the plan three-dimensionally;
• if necessary, adjustments to the initial plan;

The diagnostic wax-up can also be used as a treatment tool. In edentulous spaces, it can be used to form radiographic and surgical implant placement guides.
