Key Features and Components

The 75-piece polishing strip kit is systematically divided into three distinct sets. Each set represents a specific stage of the restorative finishing process, allowing for controlled, step-by-step surface refinement from gross reduction to final polishing.

1. Strips for Gross Reduction (25 Pieces)

These strips are identified by blue and green color segments and are used during the initial stage of finishing. They are designed for the removal of excess flash, overhangs, and bulk restorative material. The abrasive size is the coarsest in the kit, typically around 60 μm (blue segment), making them ideal for rapid and effective material reduction.

2. Strips for Contouring (25 Pieces)

The contouring strips feature green and yellow color segments and are used after the gross reduction phase. They serve to refine the marginal fit, establish natural interproximal and labial contours, and smooth rough areas left by the coarse strips. The abrasive size is medium, typically around 40 μm (green segment), offering a balanced combination of cutting efficiency and surface refinement.

3. Strips for Polishing (25 Pieces)

The polishing strips are marked with yellow and white color segments and are used in the final finishing phase. They are designed to create a high-gloss, smooth surface finish, which is essential for optimal aesthetics and for minimizing future plaque accumulation. The abrasive size is the finest in the kit, ranging from 20 μm down to 5 μm (white segment).
