“Blacksmith”

A “blacksmith” is a dental technician who is responsible for casting dental rods, which means they cast metal and obtain metal rods for fixed dentures, similar to removable dentures made of resin. They are also responsible for processing and reformulating said metal. These professionals can also be responsible for designing wax shapes for removable metal prosthetic dental materials, such as veneers for crowns and fixed bridges. Among other things, it depends on the dental technician and the laboratory in which they work.
