Diagnostic Waxup Based on Slavicek Concept - Dentistry eBooks

Course Overview

Presented by Ingo Roethele, this course teaches diagnostic wax-up technique built on the concepts developed by Professor Rudolf Slavicek. Rather than treating wax-up as a purely artistic exercise, the course grounds it in Slavicek's sequential guide principles, connecting occlusal function to the physical shaping of the wax-up itself.

The curriculum moves from digital documentation and dental photography through the fundamentals of Slavicek's theory and how to adapt it clinically, then into the analog wax-up protocol for Class I cases. It extends into waxing more complex malocclusions, working within EXOCAD (including articulator settings), waxing the posterior occlusal plane, and shaping the sequential guidance and aesthetic points on lateral teeth. Front tooth modeling and a dedicated cross-bite modeling protocol round out the practical technique portion of the course.

Because the material is presented in a video demonstration format, viewers can follow along and repeat each step themselves. Across 10 videos and over 18 hours of content, the course gives dental technicians a thorough, technically grounded path from Slavicek theory to hands-on wax-up execution.
