Diagnostic Prototypes
Diagnostic Prototypes
A diagnostic wax up is required for any situation where a significant modification of tooth form is required.
- Diagnostic wax ups provide a diagnostic prototype for anterior esthetic changes and functional modifications like vertical dimension changes. They can be duplicated to provide stent for provisional fabrication.
- It is required that that you provide the following for complex diagnostic wax ups if optimal results are to be achieved.
-Face bow or stick bite
-2 models of the arch to be waxed so a comparison model is maintained.
-Digital impressions optimal
-Interocclusal registration at the correct vertical dimension and occlusal position (CO, CR)
-Anterior full face and retracted photographs
For complex repositioning cases, pre-prepared models are also recommended.
