3M ESPE Sof-Lex™ Square Eyelet Coarse Finishing & Polishing Discs 5/8″ (1958C) – 100-Pack

[AcmeDent = SKU 'AB0100']

Achieve precise contouring and high-luster polishing on composite, compomer, metal, and ceramic restorations with the 3M ESPE Sof-Lex™ 1958C Square Eyelet Discs (5/8″, Coarse, 100/Box). Designed for finishing and polishing dental restorations, these pop-on discs combine flexible aluminum-oxide abrasive with a square-eyelet brass center for stable mounting and outstanding access in interproximal and marginal areas.

Key Features:

• Coarse grit (1958C): Ideal for gross finishing, removal of excess material, shaping restorations before finer polishing.
• 5/8-inch diameter: Offers sufficient surface area for efficient contouring while maintaining access in smaller quadrants.
• Square eyelet brass center: Enhances disc stability and allows the disc to sit flush, reducing chatter and improving control.
• Pop-on (snap-on) mandrel system: Enables rapid disc changes, saving time and maintaining infection control protocols.
• Flexible backing material: Adapts to convex/concave surfaces, allowing a smooth finish on interproximal and marginal ridges without damaging adjacent enamel.
• 100 discs per pack: Economical for high-volume procedures and reduces the need for frequent restocking.

Clinical Benefits:

• Improves surface smoothness to reduce plaque retention and staining
• Helps achieve optimal anatomical form in composite restorations
• Minimizes risk of over-finishing or iatrogenic damage with good control
• Saves operational time with quick disc swaps

Suggested Usage:

1. Mount the coarse Sof-Lex disc on a pop-on mandrel.
2. At low to moderate speed, perform gross contouring of restoration surfaces.
3. Use light, intermittent pressure; maintain water spray or wet field when needed to prevent heat generation.
4. Progress to medium then fine/fine-plus Sof-Lex discs to achieve final polish.
