Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of glycerin-coated wax pattern
on dental stone surface quality in terms of surface roughness and micro air
bubble formation.
Method: In this study, a total of 20 modeling wax samples were used for the
hydrophilicity test (the contact angle test) divided into 2 groups (control and
glycerin-painted). A total of 20 dental stone samples were also prepared for
visual and microscopic analysis divided into 2 groups (control and glycerinpainted).
Results and conclusion: The contact angle data showed a significant decrease in
surface hydrophilicity for the glycerin-painted group (P-value < 0.05). However,
the visual and microscopical analysis did not show a prominent distinction in
surface quality between the two groups, so there is no noticeable effect on dental
stone surface caused by glycerin-modified wax pattern.
