Foredom Silicone Point Flame 8x18mm Coarse 2.35mm

Description:

The Silicone Point Flame 8x18mm Coarse is engineered for demanding contouring tasks where significant material removal is necessary. Suitable for composite build-ups, resin-based restorations, provisional materials, and ceramic adjustments, its coarse-grit abrasive matrix provides fast and efficient reduction without compromising control. The flame-shaped 8x18mm profile enhances clinician access to curved and narrow anatomical areas such as interproximal surfaces, occlusal fissures, and lingual or palatal contours. This makes the point particularly valuable when adjusting bulkier restorations or correcting uneven surfaces before transitioning to medium or fine grit refinements. Designed with a standard 2.35mm shank, the point fits all common slow-speed dental handpieces, ensuring ergonomic handling and stable performance. Despite its aggressive abrasive action, the silicone composition minimizes chatter and vibration, giving clinicians steady tactile feedback during shaping procedures. Because coarse grit removes material rapidly, it is best used in the initial stages of a multi-step sequence. By quickly correcting contours and eliminating major irregularities, it reduces time spent during finishing workflows and prepares restorations for smoother refining stages. The durable silicone ensures long service life, even under heavy pressure, while remaining resistant to heat and structural breakdown. This is especially important for maintaining safety and preventing micro-damage to surrounding tooth structures. For clinicians who routinely perform restorative adjustments, this coarse flame point serves as a highly efficient instrument for foundational contouring and shaping.
