PREFORMED WAX CLASPS

The PREFORMED WAX CLASPS for molars or premolars ensure a firm grip and provides the necessary stability for partial dentures. It is applied to the surface of the abutment teeth.

Preformed wax clasps are typically used in the early stages of fabricating a removable partial denture (RPD). They are made of wax and are used to create a temporary clasp for the RPD while it is being made. The preformed wax clasps are attached to the RPD using a special adhesive and are shaped to fit around the existing teeth. They are typically used to hold the RPD in place while it is being tried in so that the dentist can ensure that it fits correctly and is comfortable for the patient.

Once the RPD is completed, the preformed wax clasps are usually replaced with metal clasps, which provide a more secure and durable hold. Metal clasps are made of a variety of materials, including gold, stainless steel, and cast alloy. They are custom-made to fit the individual patient’s mouth and are typically more expensive than preformed wax clasps.

Preformed wax clasps are a useful tool in the fabrication of RPDs, as they allow the dentist to make any necessary adjustments to the fit and function of the appliance before it is completed. They are typically used in conjunction with other types of dental appliances, such as acrylic resin bases and artificial teeth, to create a complete and functional RPD.

Jing Liang prefabricated wax clasps are tension-free, stable, and provide optimal bonding. They are very flexible, do not bend easily, and are therefore very easy to shape.
