Description
Each Primary Polisher (purple) is embedded with diamond particles (average particle size 45 microns) to help create a smooth surface topography on hybrid composites and porcelain. After the initial polish comes the final high shine polish. D‑Fine Double Diamond™ Final High Shine Polishers (orange) have a small 5-micron diamond particle size and more diamond particles than any other polisher. This means you can achieve a better shine in less time.
- 2 step diamond polishing system for hybrid composites and porcelain
- Primary Polisher (purple) 45μ diamond and Final High Shine Polisher (orange) 5μ diamond
- When applied properly, polishers will splay, closely hugging the surface topography and polishing (without the risk of ditching) the gingival margins
- Autoclavable up to 275°F
- Allow multiple polishes without compromising the performance
- Using gentle pressure will extend the life of the polisher

Instructions for Use / SDS
| INTENDED USE: Dental finishing and polishing points intended as a medical device for the purpose of final polishing of all composite and ceramic restorations. |
TECHNIQUE STEP 1: D-FINE Double Diamond Primary Polishers (purple) 1. Use a finishing diamond/carbide to contour the composite surface. 2. Select the appropriate D-FINE Double Diamond Primary Polisher. 3. Using a wiping motion, at 7,500 – 10,000 rpm, and with light to moderate pressure and water spray, apply the primary polisher to the restorative surface. A smooth silky surface will appear in approximately 30 seconds. |
STEP 2: D-FINE Double Diamond Final High Shine Polishers (orange) 1. Select the appropriate D-FINE Double Diamond Final High Shine Polisher. 2. Again, with light to moderate pressure and water spray, apply the Final High Shine Polisher to the restorative surface with a wiping motion, until a high gloss finish is achieved. NOTE: Failure to follow this technique will lead to premature degradation of the polishers. |
RECOMMENDED STERILIZATION D-FINE Double Diamond polishers should be steam autoclaved only up to 275°F/135°C. Product is not sold in sterile condition. |
