The 3M Sof-Lex XT Extra Thin F&P (Finishing and Polishing) Discs are a popular dental abrasive system designed for precise contouring and polishing in tight interproximal areas.
This "Export Package" provides the same high-quality discs as the domestic version, typically with a quantity of 30 coarse grit discs with a 12.7 mm (1/2 inch) diameter.
Note on "Export Package": This is a genuine 3M product intended for sale in international markets. It may have non-English packaging or slightly different quantities than the domestic version, but the product performance is identical.
Key Features and Benefits
- Extra Thin Profile (XT): Designed with a very low profile mandrel-holding area and a thin backing for enhanced tactile control and easier access into restricted interdental spaces.
- Coarse Grit (Aluminum Oxide): Ideal for efficient initial contouring and removing excess material from composite, glass ionomer, and metal restorations.
- Secure Pop-On Mechanism: The patented "Pop-On" design allows for fast, easy, and secure attachment to the Sof-Lex mandrel without the need for screws.
- Flexibility and Durability: The durable polyester backing allows the disc to flex without tearing, adapting to different tooth contours.
- Color-Coded System: Part of the standard Sof-Lex color-coded system (often a dark shade for coarse grit) for easy identification and procedural sequencing.
- Single-Sided: The abrasive coating is on one side, ensuring ease of use and reduced risk of damaging adjacent tooth structure.
