Polishing technique chairside
Astropol ®
Step 1: Finishing with Astropol F (grey): With the Astropol F finisher, excess is removed and a smooth surface is achieved.
Step 2: Polishing with Astropol P (green): Polishing with Astropol P results in a smooth restoration surface.
Step 3: High-gloss polishing with Astropol HP (dusky pink): Do not apply pressure. The restoration surfaces are finished
and polished using medium contact pressure.
Note:
Finishing and polishing is carried out using water spray for cooling and to remove the resulting polishing residue. If excess
has already been removed with a fine-grain diamond grinding instrument or if the surfaces of the restoration are rather
smooth, the first step (Astropol F) can be forgone.
Recommended speed: 7,500 – 10,000 rpm
OptraPol ® NG
As an alternative, the OptraPol NG one-step polishing system can be used. The following instructions should be observed:
– Speed: 5,000 – 8,000 rpm
– Only use in conjunction with copious water spray.
The restoration is polished to a high gloss in only one polishing step and medium contact pressure.
Polishing technique labside
Prepolishing is performed with rubber polishers and silicone wheels with various abrasive levels from rough to fine. A high
gloss is achieved with goat hair brush, cotton or leather buffing wheel as well as SR
® Universal polishing paste.
