Directions for Use

Prepare the Workspace:

• Ensure your dental workspace is clean and well-lit.
• Have all necessary equipment and materials ready, including the Sof-Lex Spiral Wheels kit.

Select the Appropriate Wheel:

• Determine whether you need the fine finishing wheel (beige) or the superfine polishing wheel (white) based on your restoration’s requirements.

Attach the Mandrel:

• The Sof-Lex Spiral Wheels use the same mandrel as the discs. Attach the appropriate mandrel to your slow-speed handpiece.

Prepare the Restoration Surface:

• If necessary, contour the restoration surface using appropriate tools before polishing.

Finishing (Fine Finishing Wheel – Beige):

• Place the fine finishing wheel onto the mandrel.
• Apply light to moderate pressure on the restoration surface.
• Move the wheel in a slow and controlled motion, ensuring that all areas are evenly treated.
• Use the wheel to remove scratches and prepare the surface for high-gloss polishing.

Polishing (Superfine Polishing Wheel – White):

• Replace the fine finishing wheel with the superfine polishing wheel on the mandrel.
• Apply light to moderate pressure, similar to the finishing step.
• Polish the restoration surface in a slow and controlled manner.
• Aim to achieve a very smooth, high-gloss polish.

Evaluate and Adjust as Needed:

• Periodically inspect the restoration surface for the desired finish. If necessary, repeat the polishing step to achieve the desired result.

Cleanup:

• Remove any debris or residue from the restoration surface.

Completion:

• Your restoration should now have a natural-looking, high-gloss finish.

Maintenance:

• Clean the Sof-Lex Spiral Wheels as per manufacturer instructions for reuse or dispose of them properly if they are single-use.
