We just started coronal wax-ups and I wanted to get different opinions on how everyone is taught to wax teeth. I was taught to build the tooth up with the wax using minimal carving (except for grooves and contour). We basically apply the wax to the ridges and fill in the middle after forming a framework. I guess this is opposed to loading the prep with wax and then carving it down to shape the tooth. How do you guys learn to do them? Also which carving instruments (Hollenbach, PK-?) do you recommend for different structures (incisal edges, cusps, fossa, grooves, facial contour, embrasures)?
Thanks
