Sof-Lex Finishing & Polishing Discs provide a color-coded, sequential abrasive system engineered for predictable, lifelike esthetic results across composite, glass ionomer, and resin-based restorative materials. From initial contouring through high-luster final polishing, the system's progressive grit sequence delivers controlled surface refinement, while the pop-on design and color-coded grit identification streamline disc selection and changeover throughout the procedure.

Key Features:

• Color-Coded Sequential System: Each grit level is assigned a distinct color for immediate identification, guiding clinicians through the correct finishing and polishing sequence from coarse reduction to superfine high-luster polishing with minimal risk of step omission.
• Pop-On Attachment Design: The tool-free pop-on connection enables fast, secure disc changes between grit stages, reducing chairside interruption and improving overall procedural efficiency without requiring additional handpiece accessories.
• Urethane-Coated Paper Backing (F&P Series): Durable urethane coating reinforces the paper backing for consistent abrasive action and extended disc life, maintaining reliable cutting and polishing performance throughout each disc's use.
• Polyester Film Backing (XT Series): The XT series uses a tear-resistant polyester film substrate for enhanced durability and consistent grit distribution, supporting precise surface contouring and high-luster finishing on demanding restorative surfaces.
• Square Brass Center (1958 Series): The 5/8" 1958 Series discs feature a square brass mandrel attachment for use with compatible latch-type handpieces, providing a reliable alternative mounting style for specific clinical preferences.
• Multiple Size Options: Available in 1/2", 3/8", and 5/8" diameters to accommodate a range of restoration sizes, anatomical locations, and access requirements across anterior and posterior restorations.
• Broad Material Compatibility: Engineered for effective finishing and polishing of composite resins, glass ionomers, compomers, and other resin-based materials, consolidating multiple finishing needs into a single versatile disc system.
