Direction to Use

Select and Attach Disc: Choose the appropriate disc grit and firmly push the eyelet onto the mandrel until secure.
Initial Shaping (if needed): For gross reduction, start with a coarse-grit disc at medium speed (around 10,000 rpm).
Contour Restoration: Use a medium-grit disc to refine contours and adjust marginal ridges or incisal edges, rinsing and drying between steps.
Finishing: Apply the fine-grit disc (4931F) at high speed (up to 30,000 rpm) for 15–20 seconds to smooth the surface.
Polishing: If desired, follow with a superfine disc for a high-gloss finish.
Technique Tips: Keep the tooth, restoration, and disc dry during use for optimal results.Use light pressure and move from the bulk of the restoration toward the margins. Avoid back-and-forth movement over composite/enamel margins to prevent white lines.
After Use: Remove and discard the disc after single use.Clean the area by washing away any powder or debris
