Dental waxes are thermoplastic materials widely used in dentistry for pattern fabrication, impressions, and processing procedures. They are composed of natural and synthetic waxes with additives like resins and oils, and are classified based on origin and application (pattern, processing, impression waxes). Key properties include flow, thermal expansion, ductility, and susceptibility to distortion. Despite limitations, they are essential in procedures like restorations, dentures, and bite registration. Modern advancements such as CAD/CAM and 3D printing have improved precision and efficiency in wax pattern fabrication.
