Foredom Silicone Point Wheel 12x2mm Coarse 2.35mm

Description:

The Silicone Point Wheel 12x2mm Coarse 2.35mm is designed for aggressive yet controlled material reduction during early finishing stages. Its coarse abrasive structure allows clinicians and technicians to efficiently reshape contours, remove bulk material, and correct anatomical discrepancies before transitioning to medium or fine polishing instruments. This wheel is frequently used in dental clinics for adjusting over-contoured composite restorations, reshaping occlusal surfaces, and trimming provisional crowns. Its 12x2mm profile allows it to reach moderately narrow areas while still offering enough abrasive surface to remove material evenly. Despite its coarse grit, the silicone-bonded matrix ensures smoother operation compared to conventional stone abrasives, reducing chatter and operational fatigue. In laboratory settings, the wheel is valuable for adjusting ceramic restorations, refining zirconia frameworks, and performing initial shaping on aesthetic cases prior to fine-grit refinement. Technicians benefit from its ability to remove material efficiently while maintaining predictable control, helping preserve structural integrity during the early shaping process. The 2.35mm shank fits all standard contra-angle handpieces, providing stable performance at various speeds. While coarse in nature, the tool is engineered to limit excessive heat generation, ensuring safer operation on sensitive materials. Overall, the Silicone Point Wheel 12x2mm Coarse 2.35mm is an essential tool for foundational reshaping and rapid reduction in restorative workflows.
