Description
Rubber Base (Dental Model Base Former) is a reusable silicone rubber mold used to create neat, symmetrical bases for gypsum dental models. The semi-flexible body helps technicians de-mold casts without chipping edges, while the ribbed interior provides retention and consistent base thickness. Available in full-arch and quadrant shapes across multiple sizes, it works for study casts, orthodontic models, and prosthodontic working dies.
Key features and benefits:
• Flexible silicone rubber for easy release and reduced cast breakage
• Ribbed profile for strong keying and uniform bases
• Full-arch and left/right quadrant options to match the case
• Compatible with common plaster-less/disposable articulators via slotted design
• Reusable and simple to clean, supporting cost control in busy labs
• Stable shape that helps technicians pour quickly with minimal trimming
Typical uses:
• Study models for diagnosis and patient records
• Orthodontic models for case presentation and measurements
• Prosthodontic and restorative working casts and dies
• Teaching and demonstration models in training labs
Why choose this over rigid plastic or metal formers?
• Silicone flexibility speeds de-molding and reduces edge fractures
• Non-stick feel minimizes voids and tear-outs at the base margin
• Lightweight and quiet on the bench, with less risk of marring counters
Good practice:
• Select the arch size that provides adequate base height without excess trimming
• Use a separating medium to extend tool life and keep surfaces clean
• Disinfect between cases according to lab protocols
This Rubber Base is a practical, lab-friendly tool that improves model quality, reduces rework, and keeps throughput steady across orthodontic and prosthodontic workflows.
