Mesh Wax Patterns – Retention Mesh Sheets
Manufacturer # 710-000
Item # 20256-MD
Packaging: 10 sheets/box
Description:
Red-colored wax mesh sheets designed to provide mechanical retention during the wax-up phase of partial denture frameworks. These sheets are integrated into the wax pattern to create a retentive surface that allows acrylic or resin to securely bond to the framework during processing.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
Flexible yet stable: Extra tough and highly flexible wax that shapes easily, carves without chipping, and boils out cleanly.
-
Optimized for partial denture wax-ups: Ideal for creating mechanical retention in saddle and connector areas.
-
Visual contrast: Red color makes it easy to distinguish from other wax components.
-
Consistent supply: Pack of 10 sheets suitable for lab or production use.
Technical Specifications:
-
Sheet Size: ~152 × 76 mm (≈ 5.80″ × 3.00″)
-
Thickness: Approx. 0.9 mm (typical for this type of wax mesh)
-
Color: Red
-
Packaging: 10 sheets per box
Usage & Handling:
-
Place the wax mesh in areas of the denture wax-up where acrylic resin will flow and lock in (e.g., saddle or connector zones).
-
Trim and adapt the mesh to the model as needed — it carves smoothly without breaking.
-
Proceed with investing and casting as per standard lab procedures; the mesh burns out cleanly with minimal residue.
-
Store in a cool, dry environment to prevent distortion.
Applications:
-
Wax-up phase of removable partial denture (RPD) frameworks.
-
Any dental laboratory modeling requiring a retentive mesh structure for resin or acrylic adhesion.
