Description
Dental amalgam and waxes are placed, carved, and contoured with API Carvers, which are double-ended surgical tools. Dental wax is cut and shaped during large fillings as part of routine restorative operations. It gives the restoration or waxes a proper and neat shape and eliminates extra material from the restorative region.
These dual-purpose tools combine the advantages of a hand tool for wax sculpting with a wax carver. Denture wax addition and carving are done on one side. The other side is used to make festooning and to scrape off extra wax.
A blunt blade of various sizes and shapes is typically used to carve wax designs; the blade can be heated to soften the wax while creating the design.Additionally, before the amalgam or intermediate restoration solidifies, it eliminates surplus material, contours surfaces, and re-carves anatomy.
