3M Sof-Lex Finishing Strips Refill
Aluminum-oxide coated finishing strips with gapped centers for easy interproximal insertion, producing smooth restoration surfaces that resist plaque buildup.
3M Sof-Lex Finishing Strips are thin abrasive strips used by dentists to finish and polish the interproximal surfaces of a restoration, the area between two adjacent teeth that is difficult to reach with a handpiece or disc. Each strip has a gapped center section that makes it easier to insert between teeth without catching on the contact point, and the strip is precision coated with an aluminum-oxide grit that smooths the restoration surface as it is worked back and forth.
A smooth interproximal surface is not just a cosmetic finish, it also helps reduce the buildup of plaque along the margin of the restoration, which supports better gum health around the tooth over time. This refill pack restocks a practice that already uses the Sof-Lex finishing strip system, and the strips are a routine consumable in general and restorative dental practices completing composite or other direct restorations that extend into the interproximal space.
