| The combination of SS tip and brass handle makes these modeling wax carvers unique. The tips are made of 410 grade surgical steel with 5 mm brass handle which is hand buffed and polished. The brass handle is coated with German lamination for long lasting finish. These instruments can be autoclaved. There is a wide range of carvers for dental wax patterns, porcelain, and other dental restorative materials but only a few of them are commonly used today. Hollenback carvers have thin, flat, pointed ends, which are ideal for contouring proximal anatomy of wax models and carving occlusal and interproximal anatomy of any dental restorations. This is a double-ended instrument with the flat surface of each blade facing two opposite directions. The shanks are slightly curved and the blades are at 45-degrees angle. Half Hollenback carver has the exact description but is half the size of a regular Hollenback. A variation of the Hollenback is the interproximal carving knife. It also has the same features as the Hollenback except that the blades are deviated either to the left or to the right for easy handling and better visibility. Wards carver, another type of Hollenback, has longer and more pointed blades. Le Cron carver is used for fine trimming of wax at various stages of denture construction. The blade on one end looks like a kitchen knife. On the other end, the blade is disc-shaped with sharp edges. Roach and Vehe carvers have the same spear-shaped blade on one end; Roach, has a thick oval blade on the other end while Vehe have a small thin blade that is tear-shaped. Special waxing-up instruments based on the concepts of P. K. Thomas. The modeling tips allow a true-to-life, anatomical model to be achieved within crown and bridge technique |
