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

Description:

The Cup brush-grey horse hair 12mm dia. 9.5mm l 2.35mm is a professional-grade dental polishing brush engineered to deliver controlled, medium-soft polishing performance for a variety of restorative and prosthetic materials. Grey horse hair is valued for its subtle firmness, offering more polishing strength than goat hair while remaining gentle enough for sensitive surfaces such as composite restorations, provisional crowns, ceramic margins, and acrylic components. The 12mm cup-shaped head provides outstanding coverage, making it efficient for polishing broader surfaces like facial composites, occlusal anatomy, and denture bases. This cup configuration allows the bristles to mold around anatomical contours, ensuring uniform polishing results. The 9.5mm bristle height provides optimal flexibility while maintaining enough body for precise handling. The 2.35mm shank ensures compatibility with standard slow-speed handpieces widely used in operatory and laboratory environments. This brush is commonly employed during the intermediate to final stages of finishing, helping to smooth surfaces after contouring with burs or shaping instruments. Its gentle yet effective polishing capabilities reduce surface inconsistencies and prepare restorations for high-gloss finishing without creating scratches or altering surface anatomy. In dental laboratories, the brush is useful for finishing orthodontic retainers, polishing thermoformed appliance edges, smoothing acrylic denture areas, and refining clasp regions. Paired with suitable polishing pastes such as pumice or micro-abrasive compounds, it achieves consistent, high-quality surface refinement. The combination of durability, adaptability, and medium-soft performance makes this grey horse hair cup brush an essential tool for clinicians and technicians seeking balanced, controlled polishing action across various dental materials.
