Sequential wax up<\/h1><\/div>

Sequential wax up according to Professor Rudolf Slavicek\u2019s technique is a prosthetic product planning that considers all the functional guides and the dental contacts, and even the possible prosthesis abrasion over time. Actually we do the wax up in pure canine guide (according to the Vienna school of Professor Slavicek), but if this lost efficiency through the wear of time, it would come into operation the functional guide of the first premolar and so on until we arrive to affect the whole quadrant reaching a group function, but always respecting the prosthetic work function.<\/p>\n

Before we start the sequential wax up we need to set individual values for the articulator through an axiographic test. We need to establish the correct vertical size with values achieved through the cephalometric tracing<\/a>, a correct occlusal plane<\/a> and a correct operating articular position, using RP waxes<\/a>. At this point we assemble the model on articulator with the help of a preferably kinematic face-bow.<\/p>\n

How to realise the models<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

We have to arrange the upper model with split-cast<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have to arrange the lower model with removable dies for each tooth, except the group of the four lower frontal teeth<\/span>;<\/b><\/span> During the wax up, we need to remove some elements so that we can check the right sequentiality and the functional path of each waxed element.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
