Foredom Silicone Point Flame 8x18mm Medium 2.35mm

Description:

The Silicone Point Flame 8x18mm Medium is a versatile tool for primary finishing and contouring tasks in modern restorative dentistry. Medium grit provides balanced cutting ability, enabling efficient shaping of composite restorations, bulk-fill materials, ceramic adjustments, and enamel contouring when modifications are required for aesthetics or occlusal harmony. The flame-shaped 8x18mm design is especially beneficial for reaching interproximal spaces, occlusal grooves, cervical margins, and curved anatomical surfaces. Clinicians often rely on such geometry during the early stages of finishing when sculpting natural contours and establishing the foundation for later smoothing and polishing steps. Its 2.35mm shank ensures compatibility with standard low-speed handpieces, offering stable rotation and tactile precision. The medium abrasive blend allows efficient removal of surface irregularities while maintaining control to prevent over-reduction�crucial for aesthetic restorations where anatomy must be preserved. The silicone binder provides flexibility, durability, and resistance to disintegration under continuous use. It reduces heat build-up, improving patient comfort and preventing micro-fractures in delicate restorative materials. The point�s performance remains consistent even under moderate pressure, making it ideal for both anterior and posterior applications. Used at the beginning of a multi-step finishing sequence, this point prepares restorations for subsequent fine, extra-fine, and ultra-fine polishing tools. Its ability to establish accurate contours improves functional balance, enhances natural aesthetics, and supports long-term restoration success in cosmetic and restorative procedures.
