Three bite registration waxes were tested for their thermic dimensional behavior under several heating and cooling conditions. Aluwax showed the smallest changes in length. Difficulties of application are expected because of its low softening temperature. There were greater dimensional changes with Beauty Pink Hard-Wax, but Kerr No. 8-Wax showed the greatest changes. The cooling method had a small, the heating temperature, however, a strong influence on the thermic dimensional behavior. These are the recommendations for the clinical application of the tested waxes: The bite registration material should not be heated more than necessary for achieving a sufficiently plastic quality for the registration. It should be stored in ice water to be resistant enough to deformation during the model mounting.

D007574 Jaw Relation Record A registration of any positional relationship of the mandible in reference to the maxillae. These records may be any of the many vertical, horizontal, or orientation relations.

D013816 Thermodynamics A rigorously mathematical analysis of energy relationships (heat, work, temperature, and equilibrium). It describes systems whose states are determined by thermal parameters, such as temperature, in addition to mechanical and electromagnetic parameters. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 12th ed) Thermodynamic
D014885 Waxes A plastic substance deposited by insects or obtained from plants. Waxes are esters of various fatty acids with higher, usually monohydric alcohols. The wax of pharmacy is principally yellow wax (beeswax), the material of which honeycomb is made. It consists chiefly of cerotic acid and myricin and is used in making ointments, cerates, etc. (Dorland, 27th ed)
