The term given to the portion of the patient's model that corresponds to the prepared tooth and is used by the dental lab technician to recreate the tooth's crown with wax is called a "die" or "dental die." The die replicates the shape and contours of the prepared tooth and serves as a reference for fabricating the crown in the dental laboratory.
