Benefits
The Enhance® dental finishing system is designed for preparing composite surfaces for their final polish. The system accomplishes the entire process of excess removal, contouring, and finishing simply by varying the pressure. It delivers a smooth, contoured surface with a natural looking finish.
Enhance® is a single use, aluminum oxide impregnated resin finisher. The aggressiveness of Enhance® is controlled by the pressure applied to the composite surface.
The greater the pressure, the more material is removed, lighter pressure leaves a smooth, contoured surface with a natural looking finish.
There are several benefits of using the Enhance® dental finishing system, including:
Proper finishing and polishing is important for several reasons, such as:
A smooth composite surface is more plaque and stain resistant, and is a necessary step to achieving composite longevity and patient satisfaction. Surface roughness testing proves that the composite surface is smoother when Enhance® Finishers are used after gross contouring with a bur. And it achieves both intermediate and final finishing in a single step - the pressure applied controls the aggressiveness: more pressure for an aggressive initial finish; less pressure to smooth the surface. As pressure is applied, abrasive particles disengage from the Enhance® cup, disc, or point to effectively buff the surface of the restoration. The result is a smooth, contoured surface in less steps.
The Enhance® dental finishing system can benefit every dentist working with composites or compomers. It is designed for preparing composite surfaces for their final polish. For optimal surface polish, follow the use of Enhance® Finishers with Enhance® PoGo® Polishers.
Enhance® has passed all needed biological testing and has been found safe for use in accordance with its Instructions for Use. As is the case with any medical product, certain risks may exist; see the product IFUs and literature for more details.
