Description

Luster Extraoral and Intraoral Twist Polishing Kits are designed with four different flexible twist polishers with flexible polishing lamellae that adapt to surface structures and difficult-to-reach areas such as grooves on occlusal surfaces. The polishers gently create a high gloss for ceramic restorations, while preserving the restoration’s surface. They are used sequentially in grits ranging from coarse to extra-fine. Extraoral polishers are used in a straight handpiece and intraoral polishers are used in a right-angle handpiece with a recommended speed of 10,000 to 12,000 rpm. Luster Extraoral and Intraoral Twist Polishing Kits are available as single extraoral (LUS05) and intraoral (LUS06) kits. All kits ordered contain a bur block and one each of the green pre-polisher (coarse grit; 9771G), blue polisher (medium grit; 9771M), red polisher (fine grit; 9771F), and yellow polisher (extra-fine grit; 9771C).
