Typically, it is made of brass, aluminum, steel, or plastic and is used in the fabrication of the dental prosthesis. This element is typically incorporated in dental laboratory procedures to facilitate fabrication of an accurate master cast and\/or prosthesis and can be incorporated into a model for patient education purposes.A compound (or molecule) that is a (chemical) structural derivative of a \"parent\" compound. The word is also used to describe a molecule which may be structurally similar (but not identical) to another, and which exhibits many or some of the same biological functions of the other.For example, the large class ofantibiotics known as the sulfa drugs are all analogues of the original synthetic chemical drug (known as Prontosil, cures streptococcal infections) discovered by the German biologist Gerhart Domagk. Herr Domagk's and other discoveries made possible a program of further chemical syntheses based upon the original (sulfanilamide) molecular structure, which resulted in the large number of sulfonamide (also called \"sulfa\") drugs that are available today. All of the sulfa drugs which were patterned after the original sulfanilamide molecular structure may be called sulfanilamide analogues.Today, analogues are known by man for various vitamins, amino acids, purines, sugars, growth factors, and many other chemical compounds. Research chemists produce analogues of various molecules in order to ascertain the biological role of, or importance of, certain structures (within the molecule) to the molecule's function within a living organism.A drug that resembles another, but has different effects.Part having a function like that of another but of a different source or species (e.g., the crop of an earthworm is analogous to the human stomach)."}
