Foredom Silicone Point Inv. Ball Nose 10x18mm Coarse 2.35mm

Description:

Silicone Point Inv. Ball Nose 10x18mm Coarse 2.35mm is a high-performance coarse-grit dental abrasive specifically engineered for rapid reduction of restorative materials in concave areas. The inverted ball-nose shape enhances adaptability to occlusal pits, fossae, internal grooves, and curved anatomical depressions where substantial reshaping is required. Its coarse silicone abrasive formula offers efficient cutting, making it suitable for initial contouring of composite over-builds, adjusting provisional restorations, reshaping ceramic surfaces, and preparing indirect restorations for subsequent finishing stages. Despite its aggressive performance, the silicone matrix moderates vibration and maintains smoother handling compared to metal-bonded burs. The instrument minimizes thermal buildup, reducing the risk of damage to restorative materials or underlying tooth structures. It is intended to precede medium, fine, and extra-fine points in a sequential finishing system, establishing the foundational shape before further refinement. The 2.35mm shank ensures compatibility with standard contra-angle handpieces used in both clinical and laboratory environments. Its durable construction supports repeated heavy-duty contouring without rapid abrasive loss. Clinicians commonly use this point during major occlusal adjustments, shaping of composite occlusal anatomy, gross reduction of ceramic contours, and initial contouring of internally curved surfaces. Its efficiency, stability, and specialized geometry make it an essential instrument for restorative procedures requiring fast, controlled reduction in concave zones.
