Dental Burnout Casting Post

Dental burnout casting posts are dental instruments used in the process of casting dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, and dentures. These posts are typically made of a heat-resistant material, such as graphite or ceramic, and are used to create a mold for the restoration.

During the casting process, the dental burnout casting post is placed in a dental investment material, which is then heated to a high temperature. This causes the post to burn out, leaving behind a cavity in the investment material that matches the shape of the post. The cavity is then filled with molten metal or dental ceramic material to create the final restoration.

Dental burnout casting posts are essential tools in the dental laboratory, as they help ensure accurate and precise casting of dental restorations. They are available in various sizes and designs to accommodate different types of restorations and patient needs.

These posts are classified under the supply class "Dental Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies." This classification helps dental professionals and suppliers easily identify and locate these specific dental instruments within the broader category of dental supplies.
