Step 3 – Wax modeling
Wax-up shape according to anatomical situation
Make sure the wax layer on the abutment is at least 0.7 mm
Do not cover the margin of the abutments with wax
Always attach the Gold abutment to the polishing aid when working outside the model to protect the conical design of the connection
