Abstract: Ten dental impression waxes were characterized by penetration and differential thermal analysis. Penetration and initial transition temperatures were directly correlated. Penetration at 37 C ranged from 2.5 to 22% for bite waxes and was 100% for corrective waxes. Distortion of an impression wax may occur upon removal from the mouth.
