Background: The carving wax is used as a medium in dental anatomy study.
This wax composes of many waxes and sometimes a filler is added..
Is the process of carving the denture base to simulate the contour of the natural tissues which are being replaced by the denture.
Objective to:- 1. - produce natural contour and aid in retention . 2-restore the anatomy of that which is missing 3-the entire size , shape and contour of upper and lower denture..

What Is Dental Wax Used For? Dental wax is used for tooth impressions, casting of teeth duplicates and tooth models.
It is also used to protect braces.
People with braces can take a bit of the wax, warm it up in their hands to make it soft and press it on sharp wires in their mouth..

The discoid-cleoid (see Fig. 6-9, D and E) instrument is used principally for carving occlusal anatomy in unset amalgam restorations.
It also may be used to trim or burnish inlay–onlay margins.
The working ends of this instrument are larger than the discoid or cleoid end of an excavator..
Using a half-Hollenback carving instrument, start to develop the buccal surface by carving the surface of the tooth with the blade of the carving instrument parallel to the long axis of the tooth
Make sure to flow into, and out of, the buccal grooves that were roughed out at an earlier stage
This will start to define and shape these grooves
Build up the desired thickness of wax before you start carving
Contour the wax to the desired shapeFill the voids and scratches with a smaller instrument
Gently brush the entire waxed area with a soft toothbrush
Follow up with the final polishing using a piece of panty hose
Sivapathasundaram suggests that carving root anatomy is a waste of time and energy, and that carving root anatomy is a dreadful exercise that does not contribute to students' overall understanding of tooth anatomy
In this study, most respondents believed that both crown and root carving were important in their clinical practice
