In actual fact, ‘wax’ is a very broad term covering the most diverse
type of waxes. One way of defining a particular wax is by the nature
of the raw material it is made from, i.e. vegetable, animal, mineral
or synthetic waxes. Another approach is to define waxes in terms
of their chemical or physical properties. But what all waxes have
in common is that they soften or liquefy when heated and solidify
when cooled to room temperature.
We have the right wax to meet every need. But don’t just take our
word for it – try out our range of waxes for yourself!

Partial denture technique
BEGO is one of the pioneers of the partial denture technique using CoCr alloys. A large number of useful special waxes and profiles
complete the BEGO partial denture system in a practical way. In combination with the BEGO alloy brands Wironit® and WIRONIUM® and
the BEGO investment materials Wirovest® and WiroFine, these waxes and profiles enable the partial denture technique to be applied
efficiently and with perfect results every time.

Modelling tip
If it is planned to duplicate under pressure, the best results are obtained if the saddles are inundated all round.

Partial denture technique
Blocking-out wax
• This wax was developed for blocking out undercuts, for creating clasp steps and for relieving the strain on critical areas of the model.
It is tailored to meet the special requirements of the partial denture technique.
• This blocking-out wax can be easily scraped and cut, is hard and thus ensures the dimensionally-stable, well-defined reproduction of
clasp steps on the investment model
• The boiling-out temperature of approx. 90 °C, the setting temperature of approx. 68 °C and the melting temperature of approx.
80–85 °C guarantee reliability and resilience during duplication, even at high temperatures
Product details
Modelling tip
The edges of wax steps should be formed using a sharp instrument at an angle of 90 °C so that the wax clasp profile receives a defined position.

Before making the model, the investment material can be sprayed with Durofluid to improve adhesion of wax profiles still further. The modelling wax
can be adapted more easily if, in addition, the model is preheated to 35 °C.

Wax profiles
• Tried and tested wax profile shapes make for easy, customised wax-up for a wide range of indications in dental technology
• BEGO wax profiles are very easy to mould, do not bend up and can be easily fixed to the investment model
• The wax formula is designed to provide high internal stability and thus offers remarkable protection against inadvertent deformation
and constriction during shaping
• The wax profile assortment comes in a handy box containing the most frequently required thicknesses and profiles
Product details
Flat casting strips – optimally adapted for the casting of maxillary bases
The creation and dimensioning of the sprues are just as important as a precise wax-up. In the case of transverse bars, horseshoe-shaped
and large maxillary partial denture bases, the flat casting strips have proven particularly successful.
Tip: Wax profiles 2.0 mm x 6.5 mm for sprues on large maxillary wax-ups, wax profiles 2.0 mm x 4.5 mm for delicate maxillary wax-ups

crown and bridge technique
BEGO offers a comprehensive range of waxes for crown and bridge work. The properties of the modelling waxes - individually developed
by dental technicians for dental technicians – are perfectly tailored to the respective range of indications. In combination with BEGO
investment materials (Bellavest® SH) and BEGO alloys (Wirobond® 280) they produce impressive casting results with excellent fit.
Dipping wax
• Dipping wax forms wax copings in bridge and crown work, providing the basis for precision dental restorations
• Minimal shrinkage and optimum viscosity are key features of BEGO dipping waxes, guaranteeing reproducible results with uniform wall
thicknesses and high accuracy of fit
• The two wax versions maintain a very consistent viscosity even when the wax is kept at standby temperature for a longer period,
ensuring precise control of the required coping thickness at all times
• Green and red dipping waxes contain only organic components and can be safely used in the ceramic pressing technique
• The increased elastic recovery and strength of the hard elastic red dipping wax maintains the stability of the copings, even in critical situations
• 1 Working temperature of the green dipping wax 70 to 75 °C
• 2 Working temperature of the hard elastic dipping wax approx. 95 °C
Product details
Modelling tip
Warm the plaster stump to approx. 35 °C before dipping. Best dipping results can be achieved when you dip the object quickly, then pull it out slowly
and evenly.
Cervical wax
• BEGO cervical wax for cervical edges in eggplant (aubergine) is a tension-free wax on which extremely high demands are placed during
modelling
• BEGO cervical wax is completely tension-free after modelling and is therefore highly recommended for details on cervical edges of
crowns, precision parts and as undercut wax of inlays
• The cervical wax burns out leaving no residue, making it suitable for the ceramic pressing technique as well
• Thanks to the finely adjusted formulation and careful monitoring of all raw material properties, the cervical wax undergoes only very
slight shrinkage after the individual layers have been applied
• BEGO cervical wax has a very low limit of elasticity, so any deformation only has a plastic effect. This allows safe wafer-thin modelling
up to the preparation margin
• Solidification temperature approx. 62 °C

crown and bridge technique
Crown wax
• Hard and medium-hard wax compositions in blue, dark blue, grey and dentine ensure optimum waxing up of all types of crowns
• Three shades provide for colour preferences and facilitate customised contouring
• The balanced shrinkage of BEGO crown and bridge waxes is reduced to a minimum by the selective use of high-quality raw materials
and rigorous production management
• BEGO crown wax is particularly suitable for waxing up with either an open flame or an electric wax knife
• Both waxes (medium-hard/hard) have ideal carving properties and solidify quickly, enabling them to be applied very quickly.
The choice of version depends essentially on the technician’s preference, the ambient conditions (room temperature) and the stability
required when removing the model or when investing.
• BEGO crown wax can also be used for inlays thanks to its working characteristics
• The solidification point of hard crown wax is approx. 61 °C and that of medium-hard crown wax approx. 60 °C

Modelling tip
Applying small portions of wax reduces the wax contraction.

Occlusal wax
• Ideal for efficient and aesthetic modelling of occlusal surfaces. BEGO occlusal wax is available in two pastel shades to facilitate the
shaping of occlusal surfaces. The choice of shades is a matter of personal preference. The advantage of light pastel shades, as with all
BEGO occlusal waxes, is that they provide high-contrast visualisation of waxed-up occlusal surface contours, thereby great facilitating
the implementation of occlusal concepts.
• A high degree of hardness is necessary when modelling occlusal surfaces in order to prevent compression at the contact points
between maxilla and mandible
• BEGO occlusal wax is very ductile because of its high surface tension. Wax drops form a ball when solidified, enabling even the most
delicate occlusal contours to be waxed.
• BEGO occlusal waxes do not stain, are not sticky and are very easy to mill. They also meet the highest dental technology standards.
• Solidification point approx. 59 °C
Product details
Modelling tip
The wax-up can easily be given a high-gloss, degreased finish before the investment process by using diluted washing-up liquid and a soft brush.

Milling wax
• BEGO milling waxes in green and grey are specially formulated to meet the particular challenges of machine processingt
• The ideal hardness of the wax prevents shavings from adhering to the wax-up and clogging up the milling tool, so the view of the milled
surface is unobstructed at all times
• The grey milling wax is also formulated with the maximum possible opacity, thus enabling optimal visual assessment of the milled
surfaces and contours
• The ideal motor speed for milling wax is approx. 2,000–5,000 rpm, depending on blade geometry and diameter of the milling tool
used
• The solidification temperature of both milling wax versions is approx. 62 °C
Product details
Modelling tip
The application of Isocera separating liquid (page 18) to the milling tool prevents the blades from becoming clogged or wax shavings adhering to the
tool, so you avoid surface inaccuracies right at the milling stage.

As a general rule, adhere to the minimum ceramic wall thickness of 0.8 mm. If there is limited space availability, press with a layer thickness of
0.8 mm and then reduce the thickness of ceramic using a rotary instrument.
