Foredom Silicone Point Flat Top Taper 6x16mm Xc 2.35mm

Description:

Silicone Point Flat Top Taper 6X16mm XC 2.35mm is an extra-coarse abrasive designed for aggressive reduction and extensive reshaping of restorative materials. It is particularly beneficial during initial contouring of overbuilt composites, rough ceramic adjustments, and modifications of provisional crowns or bridges requiring substantial material removal. The tapered flat-top configuration provides enhanced surface contact, allowing the point to efficiently shape occlusal tables, interproximal zones, and broader anatomical features. Its extra-coarse grit ensures rapid cutting performance, significantly reducing chair time when large modifications are necessary. Despite its high abrasiveness, the silicone composition maintains smooth handling, limiting vibration and preventing sudden material chipping. Heat output is controlled through the silicone matrix, protecting tooth surfaces and restorative materials from thermal damage. Its robust structure withstands prolonged use, ensuring consistent abrasive action throughout multiple procedures. This point is typically the first step in a multi-stage finishing protocol, followed by coarse, medium, fine, and ultra-fine instruments. The 2.35mm shank ensures compatibility with standard contra-angle handpieces. It is highly effective in general restorative dentistry, laboratory finishing, extraoral adjustment of indirect restorations, and pre-polishing shaping. Its reliability and cutting efficiency make it a valuable tool for practices requiring dependable high-reduction instruments.
