About flexible silicone polishers
A flexible silicone polisher is abrasive grit held in a rubber body, so the shape flexes onto the surface instead of cutting a flat track. Published work describes aluminium oxide impregnated silicone points used before a diamond paste as one of the combinations giving the lowest surface roughness. They are sold as graded sets: a review reports systems reaching the accepted roughness threshold at between two and five steps.
Finishing is the contouring of a restoration to the shape wanted; polishing is the use of instruments to reduce the surface irregularities that finishing leaves behind. A glossary defines an abrasive as a substance used for abrading, smoothing or polishing, and polish as a smooth, glossy surface with lustre. Polishers, points and wheels are abrasive held in a body rather than coated on paper: published work describes abrasives such as silicon oxide, aluminium oxide and diamond particles embedded in discs or rubber carriers. A review names rubber cups and points, abrasive polishing discs and dental stones among the tools used.
ISO 6360-6 codes rotary abrasive instruments and says it applies to dental polishers too, which it treats as abrasive instruments. The FDA group for abrasive devices and accessories is Class I and names the abrasive point and the polishing wheel in its device list (21 CFR 872.6010).
How the types of polisher, point and wheel differ
- Flexible silicone polishers — Grit bound in flexible rubber, in cup, point and disc forms, in place of grit glued to paper.
- Mounted rubber points — Comes already on its shank, so no mandrel is needed, and the point shape reaches where a cup cannot.
- Ceramic and porcelain polishers — Graded for ceramic, which a review reports needs at least two steps.
- Polishers — The catch-all for a bound-abrasive instrument whose shape is not what names it.
- Polishing wheels — A wheel rather than a point or cup, so it reaches flat and broad surfaces.
- Grinding wheels — Grinds material away; the polishing grades come after it.
- Heatless wheels — Unmounted, so it needs the spindle a glossary calls a mandrel: the shaft and bearings on which a tool is mounted.
- Buffing wheels — Soft and loaded with compound, where a grinding or heatless wheel is rigid bonded abrasive.
- Felt buffs — Felt rather than cloth or bristle, and carries the paste rather than any grit of its own.
- Coarse arbor bands — A sleeve that is replaced while the carrier stays, in place of a wheel or point that is thrown away whole.
What to look at when choosing a polisher
Steps: published work notes that finishing and polishing systems differ substantially in abrasive composition, type and particle hardness. A review reports that reduced-step systems have shown results equal to the traditional ones and reached surface roughness below 0.2 microns, though only with at least two steps.
What is in the grit: compounds used in polishing protocols include aluminium oxide, silicon dioxide and diamond, and a review notes that diamond is harder than composite.
What it is being used on: a review notes that the filler particle size of the restorative material is itself an important factor in the final roughness and gloss.
Why it matters: a review lists reduced surface imperfections that would reduce plaque accumulation and surface breakdown, reduced wear on opposing and adjacent teeth, and a more light-reflective surface.
