Dental water baths are used to maintain a consistent water temperature so that wax and dental compound materials can be softened for molding among various other uses. Water temperatures range from 90°F to 160°F. The dental water bath housing and pan are often made from stainless steel for durability. Features can include heat indicator light, non-mercury thermometer, LED digital display and multiple baths. Heating power for dental water baths can vary from 500W to 1500W. Many vendors might feature water baths that are categorized as “general use,” these may be all you need for your dental lab. A general use water bath can easily be tweaked to become a dental water bath.
