Spruing in the casting procedure serves to create a channel for molten metal to flow into the investment, allowing for the creation of a casting.

Inlay wax in the casting process is used to create a pattern for the desired restoration, which is later replaced by molten metal.

The first step in the casting procedure is to create a wax pattern, which involves recording the desired shape and dimensions of the restoration.

The purpose of the burnout procedure in casting is to remove the wax pattern and any residual wax or debris from the investment, creating a cavity for the molten metal to fill.
