Which category includes baseplate wax, set-up wax, and rope wax?

• A. Denture Teeth
• B. Model Trimmer
• C. Waxes
• D. Bench Lathe

Answer: (C)

Waxes are a group of materials used in denture fabrication to form patterns, position teeth, and shape borders before investing and processing. Baseplate wax creates the temporary base for the denture setup on the cast; set-up wax is used to arrange and secure the artificial teeth in the correct position during the trial phase; rope wax is a flexible wax used to contour and build up borders or to aid in securing components during the wax try-in. The other options are individual teeth, a tool, or a machine, not a broad wax category.
