Our history
More than a century of expertise in dental wax formulation and manufacturing, preserved, modernised and continued today by JCOM Dental.
French manufacturing expertise for dental laboratories
JCOM Dental develops and manufactures dental waxes in France for dental laboratories, dental technicians, training centres and specialised distributors.
Our expertise is based on raw material selection, formulation, controlled melting and mixing, wax behaviour at different temperatures and consistent manufacturing quality.
This manufacturing tradition began in Burgundy, France, in 1901.
More than a century of dental wax expertise
In 1901, the manufacture of wax products for dental professionals began in Burgundy, France.
Dental wax manufacturing already required a precise understanding of raw materials, melting, moulding, rolling, cooling and softening temperatures.
Novelia became part of this history as a dental wax brand whose products and packaging crossed several generations.
Dental wax manufacturing continued during the war
Historic Novelia boxes show that dental waxes were manufactured before the Second World War and that production continued during the conflict despite restrictions and material shortages.
Pre-war Novelia dental wax
This historic box reflects the established manufacture of Novelia dental waxes for prosthetic and dental work before the Second World War.
Wartime provisional packaging
This Novelia box bears the wording “Provisional packaging for the duration of the war”, showing that dental wax production continued during the Second World War.
The machines, formulations and historical formats have been preserved
JCOM Dental has preserved all the machines, moulds, formulations, compositions and manufacturing formats associated with this long industrial history.
The equipment has been restored, secured and adapted for present-day production, while the original technical heritage has been retained.
Manufactured in France for dental laboratories worldwide
JCOM Dental waxes are developed around the practical requirements of dental laboratories, dental technicians and professional distributors.
Depending on their intended use, they support modelling, shaping, adaptation, occlusion, tooth set-up and other stages of dental prosthetic work.
Each formulation is designed to achieve a precise balance between flexibility, hardness, stability, memory, adhesion, resistance to breakage, softening temperature and finishing quality.
Dental waxes developed for professional use
Dental waxes manufactured by JCOM Dental are medical devices intended for dental professionals.
Their development and manufacture take place within a controlled framework, with particular attention to raw material selection, traceability, production consistency and product conformity.
Historic formulations combined with continuous innovation
JCOM Dental currently holds more than 180 exclusive formulations developed for a wide range of professional dental applications.
Some are the result of recent research and development. Others originate from historic compositions, including several that are more than a century old.
This technical heritage is complemented by new inventions, patents and a continuous commitment to testing, improvement and product development.
JCOM Dental in Europe and North America
From its early development, JCOM Dental earned the confidence of major dental distribution companies, including Henry Schein.
JCOM Dental products are now available in France, across Europe, in the United Kingdom and in North America.
This international presence brings French dental wax manufacturing expertise to laboratories and specialised distributors in several markets.
Preserving expertise while continuing to innovate
JCOM Dental combines a long industrial heritage with modern manufacturing, research and product development.
The machines, formulations and historical formats have been preserved, while production techniques and quality controls have been modernised to meet current requirements.
Our objective remains clear: to manufacture reliable and consistent dental waxes in France, designed around the practical needs of dental laboratories and dental technicians.
