Smooth refinement for zirconia and lithium disilicate
Wagner BlueBerry™ is a medium-grit, diamond-infused laboratory instrument designed to refine restoration contours, reduce coarse scratch patterns and create a smoother surface before final polishing.
What is Wagner BlueBerry?
Use BlueBerry after coarse contouring to smooth zirconia, remove deeper scratch patterns and prepare the surface for GoldenBerry or another final polishing step. Wagner also positions BlueBerry as the preferred Berry instrument for contouring and finishing lithium disilicate when aggressive bulk reduction is not required.
BlueBerry bridges the gap between coarse shaping and final fine finishing. Its medium diamond-infused abrasive is intended to provide controlled material adjustment while progressively improving the restoration surface.
What does BlueBerry do?
BlueBerry is designed for refinement rather than aggressive bulk reduction.
Refines contours
Fine-tunes restoration form after the primary anatomy and dimensions have been established.
Reduces coarse scratches
Progressively smooths the scratch pattern left by RedBerry or another coarse contouring instrument.
Develops surface texture
Supports controlled refinement of subtle anatomy, texture and incisal surface characteristics.
Prepares for polishing
Creates a more consistent surface before GoldenBerry, polishing, staining or glazing.
BlueBerry for lithium disilicate and zirconia
Lithium disilicate
Preferred Berry instrument for controlled contouring and refinement
Wagner positions BlueBerry as the preferred Berry for lithium disilicate when the restoration requires moderate contouring, sprue interface refinement, scratch removal or surface finishing rather than substantial bulk reduction.
Zirconia
Medium refinement step after coarse contouring
On zirconia, BlueBerry is generally used after RedBerry or another coarse instrument. It refines the established contour and reduces the deeper scratch pattern before the restoration moves to GoldenBerry or final polishing.
Selection principle: begin with the least aggressive instrument capable of completing the required adjustment. A restoration that already has the correct overall contour may begin directly with BlueBerry.
BlueBerry shapes, item numbers and dimensions
Choose the geometry that provides the most appropriate access to the restoration surface and anatomy.
| Instrument shape | Wagner item number | Dimensions | Typical application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Knife Edge | B612 | 26 × 2 mm | Broad surface refinement, line-angle development and controlled access near contours and margins |
| Flat Edged Wheel | B6127 | 17 × 3 mm | Refining broader surfaces, smoothing connector areas and maintaining flatter planes |
| Spiral | B612S | 20 × 2 mm | Flexible surface adaptation across curved contours and broader restoration anatomy |
Current inventory and selectable variants may change. Confirm the selected shape and item number before adding the instrument to the cart.

Where does BlueBerry fit in the Wagner Berry Collection?
The four Berry grit levels move from aggressive reduction to final fine finishing. Not every restoration requires all four stages.

Use controlled pressure
Apply light, consistent pressure and keep the instrument moving across the restoration. Avoid unnecessary stationary contact or excessive force.
Follow the appropriate sequence
Use BlueBerry after coarse adjustment or as the starting instrument when only medium refinement is required. Proceed to GoldenBerry or the laboratory’s preferred final finishing system.
Inspect before use
Examine the abrasive surface and shank before each use. Replace an instrument that is damaged, worn, distorted or no longer performing consistently.
Follow Wagner’s current IFU
Use the instrument-specific instructions for operating speed, pressure, cooling, cleaning, disinfection, reuse and replacement.
A BlueBerry-specific operating speed is not stated here. Do not substitute a general rotary instrument speed for the current Wagner instructions for use.
Laboratory-use instrument
The BlueBerry instruments shown on this page use Wagner B-prefix item numbers. Wagner identifies B-prefix Berry instruments as laboratory instruments and states that they must not be used intraorally.
Always follow the current manufacturer instructions and the laboratory’s established safety, dust-control and equipment procedures.
Refine the surface without starting over.
Select the BlueBerry shape that best matches the restoration, then progress to GoldenBerry or your laboratory’s preferred final polishing protocol.
Product Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful information about Wagner BlueBerry® Medium, its intended use, and the recommended workflow.
What is Wagner BlueBerry used for?
Wagner BlueBerry is a medium-grit, diamond-infused laboratory instrument used to refine zirconia and lithium disilicate restorations. It helps smooth contours, reduce scratches left by coarser instruments, and prepare the restoration for final finishing or polishing.
Can Wagner BlueBerry be used on zirconia?
Yes. BlueBerry is used on zirconia primarily as a surface-refinement step after RedBerry or another coarse contouring instrument. It can also be used as the starting instrument when the restoration already has the correct general contour and requires only moderate refinement.
Can Wagner BlueBerry be used on lithium disilicate?
Yes. Wagner positions BlueBerry as the preferred Berry Collection instrument for contouring and refining lithium disilicate when substantial bulk reduction is not required.
What is the difference between Wagner RedBerry and BlueBerry?
RedBerry is a coarse instrument designed primarily for controlled zirconia contouring and shaping. BlueBerry is a medium-grit instrument used to refine the established contour, reduce coarse scratch patterns, and prepare the restoration for finer finishing.
What is the difference between Wagner BlueBerry and GoldenBerry?
BlueBerry is the medium surface-refinement stage of the Berry Collection. GoldenBerry is the super-fine finishing and high-luster pre-polishing stage used after the restoration's contour and surface have been established.
Do I need to use RedBerry before BlueBerry?
Not always. Use RedBerry first when the restoration requires coarse contouring or greater material removal. BlueBerry may be used directly when the restoration already has the correct overall contour and needs only surface refinement.
Which Wagner BlueBerry shape should I choose?
Choose the shape based on the restoration surface and required access. The knife-edge instrument supports controlled contour and line-angle refinement, the flat-edged wheel is useful on broader or flatter surfaces, and the spiral adapts well to curved restoration contours.
What BlueBerry laboratory instruments are available?
The BlueBerry laboratory assortment includes the B612 Knife Edge measuring 26 x 2 mm, the B6127 Flat Edged Wheel measuring 17 x 3 mm, and the B612S Spiral measuring 20 x 2 mm. Availability may vary.
Can Wagner BlueBerry B-prefix instruments be used intraorally?
No. Wagner identifies B-prefix Berry instruments as laboratory instruments and states that they must not be used intraorally.
What operating speed should be used with Wagner BlueBerry?
Use the operating speed, pressure, cooling, cleaning, and reuse guidance provided in Wagner's current instrument-specific instructions for use. A general rotary instrument speed should not replace the manufacturer's current instructions.
