Do you mean hand waxing and then milling old school, not cad/cam (for parallel walls etc.)? If you plan to mill your wax-ups, yes, milling-wax is best suitable for that task. Any other wax will smear and you won't be able to mill it.

Now, if you are looking for a wax that adheres easily to the metal part of your implant restoration (Ti or gold),there are waxes for that, too. But you won't be able to mill that wax.

Hope that helps and answers your question. If not, you have to be a bit more specific with your question.

If you're talking about waxing to a UCLA type abutment, we always just ese the same wax as we do for regular C&B work

Depends on what you're waxing.

See if anything in this thread helps. Even though it's about waxing over a metal coping, it's still wax on metal: http://dentallabnetwork.com/forums/threads/waxing-over-metal-coping.26351/

Ivoclar's Bordeaux margin wax is nice, in adding to the above link.

This is what I use (from the above mentioned thread):

Try the 'implant telescopic crown wax' from Hi-Tech Wax. They have another for 'implant, gold cylinder and abutment'

Corning's red inlay/only wax worked well for UCLA/Cast-to work.
