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

Description:

The Silicone Point Inv. Ball Nose 10x18mm Medium 2.35mm is a multifunctional medium-grit dental finishing instrument tailored for shaping and contouring restorations in areas where concave or rounded internal anatomy is present. Its inverted ball-nose configuration ensures optimal adaptation to occlusal depressions, palatal curvature, internal embrasures, and fossa-based anatomical features. The medium-grade silicone abrasive matrix provides a balanced level of surface reduction, more aggressive than fine points yet gentle enough to avoid excessive removal of restorative material. This makes it ideal for refining composite build-ups, adjusting ceramic contours, contouring provisional restorations, and performing moderate enamel reshaping. Silicone abrasives reduce vibration and heat, protecting restorations from thermal micro-fractures and ensuring comfortable patient experiences. This point is often used after coarse adjustments and before transitioning to finer polishing instruments, forming a critical step in multi-stage finishing sequences. The 2.35mm shank fits standard contra-angle rotary handpieces, offering reliable rotational stability and smooth handling during clinical or laboratory procedures. Its durability supports repeated use without significant degradation of abrasive performance. Common applications include posterior occlusal anatomy correction, refining inward-curved surfaces of anterior composites, smoothing ceramic inlay contours, and preparing restorative margins for subsequent finishing steps. Owing to its adaptability and dependable performance, the instrument is frequently chosen by clinicians for routine and specialized restorative contouring tasks.
