Dental Lab Tools

In dental laboratories, various precision tools are the core support for making restorations, with clear division of labor to jointly ensure the accuracy and adaptation of restorations such as dentures and crowns.

Model making tools are the key to the fundamental process. The silicone rubber offset printing mold material mixer mixes the mold material by rotating at a constant speed, ensuring accurate replication of oral morphology during mold taking; A vacuum mixer is used to mix gypsum and remove bubbles to ensure the strength of the model. The model trimming machine grinds the solidified gypsum model, trimming the edges to fit the oral tissue morphology, providing a standard base for subsequent production.

Wax making tools are indispensable in shaping the prototype of restorations. Wax knives are divided into different sizes, with small ones used for carving details of dental crown shapes, and wide ones suitable for repairing large areas of wax layers; The waxing device can pull out uniform waxing lines, which are used to simulate the contact points between adjacent teeth. In addition, the spray gun melts the wax material through precise temperature control, making the wax surface smooth and reducing errors in subsequent processes.

The polishing tool determines the final texture of the restoration. The sand and gravel grinding head is installed on the polishing machine, and the coarse and fine particle sizes can be selected according to the material of the restoration, gradually removing surface defects; Wool wheels combined with polishing paste can give metal or resin restorations a natural luster and avoid irritation to the oral mucosa.

Casting and porcelain tools are commonly used in the production of metal restorations. Centrifugal casting machine uses centrifugal force to inject melted alloy into wax casting channels, forming a metal substrate; The porcelain furnace achieves a balance between the beauty and strength of the restoration by precisely controlling the heating curve, allowing the porcelain powder to melt and bond on the metal surface.

These tools work together, from model replication to final molding, each step reflecting the precision and rigor of dental technology, providing a solid guarantee for the effectiveness of oral restoration.
