2. Introduction
rocess involved a pliable material such as wax
or clay.
orms are three dimensional and involve partial
or complete construction of a feature
(C) 2012 - Professor Joseph Finocchiaro
3. Feature, Location, Size, Form
ize and form must be accurate as well as location for
an realistic restoration
ize involves length, width, projection
– Length is the vertical measurement
– Width is horizontal measurement
– Projection is the amount it extends from the surrounding
area
hen beginning to model a feature, always measure
desired width and length and mark them on
modeling material or work surface
ize can easily become distorted as you become
engrossed in task

easure frequently to ensure compliance.

5. Influence of Profile
rojection is typically hardest feature to reproduce.
hape of profile is noted by observing carefully
areful attention to profile will provide important
information
rior to recreating profile, note the width.
ppropriate thickness of wax can be selected for
restoration

6. Varied and Distance Viewing
eview recreation from different angles
throughout restoration.
orking from one view will easily result in
distortion of feature or entire restoration
orking only in close proximity will result in
distortion
(C) 2012 - Professor Joseph Finocchiaro
7. Roughness of Formative Work
arly on, do not be concerned with smoothing all
the surfaces
irst, achieve accurate dimensions
moothing early on wastes time (and stamina!)
moothing is easily accomplished with brush and
proper solvent.
(C) 2012 - Professor Joseph Finocchiaro
8. Surface Detail and Contour
urface Detail and Contour make a feature more
realistic
reatest fault to restoration is flatness.
– Pores, wrinkles, furrows will reduce the flat
appearance

11. Rest Periods
ake breaks, this keeps you sharp and makes for
a more accurate restoration.

12. Isolated Reproductions
lease review the Klicker Text from p.67-p.76 for
detailed photographs of restorations.
here is also a video produced by Professor Gary
Sokoll that shows you step by step how to do
wax reproductions.
