Procedure about making dental bite blocks in the dental laboratory?
good question, really! -- jas
Reply:I suppose there are different methods....but I make the bite blocks in our office...We take an impression....pour the impression with stone to make a mold..then we wait for the stone to get hard....then we fit a piece of acrylic like soft sheet onto the model to form a tray...this sets when exposed to the light...we help it along with a machine...now we have a custom tray of that persons mouth...then we have pre formed wax horseshoe shapes...I heat the wax so it is pliable...then I mold it onto this tray to form a wax block ( the back side of the tray )....then we slightly heat the wax ...then the entire tray is then inserted into the patients mouth and they are asked to bite....this will then register into the wax how the patient bites...I am not sure how the labs do it...but we make our own...Hope that helps....
