Making a Putty Matrix

[@Sandy-wh3ev]

I’m looking to buy a putty and my Dr says I need to make sure it’s an intra oral kind of putty. Is this VP Putty intra oral? They say it would be great to use in the mouth as well as out of the mouth. I’d like to make temp matrix when we do get wax ups.

Why not just make the wax up digitally then print them ?

The wax up is digital and printed. The putty matrix is used to make chairside temps.

@@PivotDentalCompany but there is still wax on the printed model, wouldnt that work if instead of using physical wax you do the mock up and print it all in one model?

[@PivotDentalCompany]

@@FonsoDalchemist Sure. That would work too. For this case the lab used wax. The point of the video was to show how to make a putty matrix.

@@PivotDentalCompany amazing work i was just wondering since i have been doing wax ups on exocad to make the matrix putty i was just wondering if there is any difference between wax and printed wax up 🙏🏽

[@PivotDentalCompany]

@@FonsoDalchemist No real difference, just different approaches.

Rub vaseline or petroleum jelly over wax. Them wont come away. Alternatively ask lah for a duplicate stone model and take putty/wash imp off there.
