Foredom Cup Brush-Black Horse Hair 12mm Dia. 9.5mm L 2.35 Mm

Description:

Cup brush-black horse hair 12mm dia. 9.5mm l 2.35mm is designed for dental professionals requiring a medium-soft polishing tool capable of providing controlled, smooth finishing on a variety of restorative materials. Black horse hair offers slightly more stiffness than goat hair but remains gentle enough for delicate surfaces, making this brush appropriate for both intermediate and final finishing stages. Its 12mm cup-shaped head provides impressive surface coverage, enabling clinicians to polish larger areas such as facial composite restorations, denture acrylic, and orthodontic appliance surfaces efficiently. The 9.5mm bristle length provides a balance of flexibility and firmness, allowing the brush to adapt naturally to anatomical contours while delivering uniform polishing action. Equipped with a standard 2.35mm shank, it attaches easily to slow-speed handpieces used throughout the dental field. This brush is particularly valuable for refining surfaces after using abrasive rubber wheels or carbide finishing burs. It helps remove residual scratches, smooth surface textures, and create a uniform base suitable for final high-gloss polishing. Its slightly firmer structure allows it to engage more effectively with composite materials, pre-polish ceramic surfaces, and finish acrylic appliances without risking surface damage when used properly. It also serves important roles in laboratory workflows, including finishing removable prosthetics, polishing custom trays, and smoothing orthodontic retainers. When paired with polishing agents such as pumice or general-purpose pastes, it produces clean, consistent, and aesthetically pleasing finishes. Overall, this black horse hair cup brush offers excellent utility, balancing gentle abrasion with enough strength to be effective in a wide range of restorative and laboratory polishing tasks.
