3M Sof-Lex Diamond Polishing System
A two-step, rubberized pre-polishing and diamond-impregnated polishing spiral system that delivers paste-like gloss on all tooth and restoration surfaces without messy paste.
The 3M Sof-Lex Diamond Polishing System is a two-step polishing system used by dentists to bring restorations to a high gloss finish without the mess associated with traditional polishing pastes. The system includes a pre-polishing spiral to prepare the restoration surface, followed by a diamond-impregnated polishing spiral that delivers the final gloss.
Both spirals are mounted on a rubberized wheel, a format the manufacturer describes as adapting to all tooth and restoration surfaces, including curved and contoured areas that flat discs can find difficult. Because the polishing medium is embedded in the rubberized spiral itself rather than applied as a separate paste, the procedure avoids the splatter and cleanup that paste-based polishing systems typically involve.
This system is intended for general and cosmetic dental practices that want a fast, clean way to achieve a high gloss finish on composite and other restoration materials as part of their finishing workflow.
