Effects of the dilution of the Rematitan Plus liquid on the dimensions of an inlay MOD

Abstract

The effects of the dilution of the Rematitan Plus liquid on the dimensions of an inlay MOD model were evaluated in this study. Twelve wax templates were built in a single matrix. Then they were separated into three groups. Each group was embedded in three different dilutions of Rematitan Plus, all of them recommended by the manufacturer (minimal, maximum and intermediate). From referential marks made on the matrix, the specimens were measured in M-D and B-L directions. We noticed that, in most cases, variations on the dilution did not change the dimensions of the inlays in a significant way. Furthermore, we observed that the properties of the wax used as a template for the construction of the inlays were more significant in the dimensional alterations than the dilution of the Rematitan Plus liquid.
