Foredom Mandrel 2.35mm 1/16 Screw

Description:

The Mandrel 2.35mm 1/16 screw is a compact but essential rotary accessory widely used in both clinical and laboratory dental environments. Designed to hold miniature abrasive discs, polishing wheels, and finishing attachments, this mandrel supports tasks requiring detailed, controlled manipulation of restorative materials. The 1/16-inch screw accommodates smaller accessories, making it ideal for fine contouring of composite restorations, micro-adjustments to ceramic surfaces, finishing of orthodontic appliances, and precision shaping of acrylic prosthetics. The 2.35mm shank ensures compatibility with standard contra-angle and straight handpieces, including electric and air-driven micromotors. Its screw-mounted retention system ensures a secure fit, minimizing rotational wobble and enhancing procedural accuracy. This stability is especially critical during high-speed operation where even slight vibrations can compromise restoration margins or surface quality. Constructed from corrosion-resistant metal, the mandrel withstands frequent sterilization cycles, maintaining durability and longevity in high-demand clinical environments. Its slim, ergonomic design gives clinicians unobstructed visibility and improved access to tight intraoral spaces, allowing for fine adjustments with minimal patient discomfort. In dental laboratories, the mandrel is equally valuable for refining wax patterns, adjusting appliance frameworks, shaping delicate cast components, and creating highly polished surfaces. Its precision threading ensures attachments remain firmly secured even during prolonged use. Whether employed chairside or in fabrication settings, this mandrel provides consistent, reliable performance for detailed finishing tasks essential to achieving high-quality restorations.
