LVI’s hands-on Full Mouth Waxing course brings new light and knowledge to the ever-growing demand in the area of full mouth reconstruction. The course content is planned to guide the technician step-by-step from pre-operative to the final wax-up.
This comprehensive approach to full mouth waxing addresses function as well as aesthetics with special emphasis placed on tooth morphology, anatomy, shape and so much more. Each participant will be required to complete a full mouth wax-up.
This course is designed specifically for intermediate and advanced technicians. In order to meet the dentists’ expectation for a more accurate final restoration, it all starts with a precise wax-up.
Each technician will be provided with pre-operative models (maxillary and mandibular). Technicians will be instructed to mount the models to a new pre-established vertical index (bite). The pre-operative wax-ups will be accomplished on the models and then transferred to die models where the case will be finished in wax, applying the principles and techniques taught in the course.
The objectives of this course are for the participant to be able to:
- Understand function as it relates to wax-ups.
- Recognize tooth morphology, shape, grooves and contours.
- Prepare for case success through correct pre-operative work-up.
- Implement the use of pictures, facial plane indexes, HIP mounting and other tools.
- Utilize waxing techniques and the matrix transfer.
- Understand the LVI Golden Proportion and Golden Vertical Index from a technician’s perspective.
- Recognize the importance of form and function, anterior and posterior.
- Discuss natural occlusal anatomy.
- Understand spruing and Investing.
This course is approved for credit by the National Board of Certification.
