Abstract
A dental bite block for final impression and bite registration includes at least one dental impression tray, a plurality of spikes, and at least one wax rim. The plurality of spikes is connected onto the at least one dental impression tray, and the plurality of spikes is oriented away from the at least one dental impression tray. Resultantly, the plurality of spikes is able to traverse into the at least one wax rim thus mounting the at least one wax rim onto the at least one dental impression tray.
