Used to finish and polish both direct and indirect dental restorations, dental finishing discs are rotary tools some of which can be used with or without polishing pastes. Often attached to the handpiece with a mandrel, finishing discs can be coarse or soft and are typically used in a specific sequence to achieve the final, natural looking polish and luster. While some systems aim to save time by reducing the number of discs in the sequence, it is most important to select a finishing system that provides the results you demand from your crowns and bridges.
