Pouring Dental Models
Model consists of two parts Anatomic portion, which is created
from the alginate impression
Art portion, which forms the base of the
model

Different Pouring Methods
Double-pour method The anatomic portion of the model ispoured first. Then a second mix of plasteror stone is used to prepare the art portion.
Box-and-pour method The impression is surrounded with a "box"
made of wax and poured as one unit.
Inverted-pour method
Consists of mixing one large mixture ofplaster or stone and pouring both portionsof the model in a single step.

Custom Impression Trays Criteria
Be sufficiently rigid to hold and support the materialduring tray placement and removal.
Fit and adapt well to the arch and maintain patientcomfort.
Provide accurate adaptation to an edentulous or apartially edentulous arch.
Maintain an even distribution of 3 to 4 mm of theimpression material between the tray and the teeth.
Maxillary tray must cover the teeth and hard palateand extend slightly beyond the gingival margin.
Mandibular tray must cover the teeth and extendbeyond the gingival margin.

Custom Tray Materials
Self-curing acrylic resin Provides a strong and easily adaptable
material to create a custom tray. Themajor disadvantage of this material is the
hazards of working with the liquidmonomer, which is very volatile.

Custom Tray Materials-contd Light-cured resin tray materials
A premixed, prefabricated light-cured traymaterial that does not containmethylmethacrylate monomer. The
properties of this material provide excellentadaptation of the model, and may be usedfor any impression situation: dentulous,edentulous, or partially edentulous.

Dental Waxes
Boxing wax Soft pliable wax with a smooth and shiny
appearance.
Supplied in long narrow strips measuring 1to 1 inches wide and 12 to 18 incheslong.
Used to form a wall or box around a
preliminary impression when pouring it up.
