Product Overview:
- OneGloss M is a one-step silicone polisher impregnated with alumina, designed to simplify the finishing and polishing of composite restorations and enamel.
- It streamlines the process, eliminating the need for frequent instrument changes or messy polishing pastes.
Technology and Design:
- Silicone Polishers with Alumina: The polishing action is provided by high-quality silicone infused with precisely sized alumina particles, delivering a consistent and smooth finish.
- Optimal Ratio of Speed and Contact Pressure: Engineered to work efficiently within a specific speed range and contact pressure, providing predictable results.
- Mounted on Stainless Steel CA Mandrels: Precisely engineered stainless steel mandrels resist bending and breakage, ensuring durability and control. The CA (Contra Angle) mount is compatible with most dental handpieces.
Benefits and Features:
- One-Step Finishing and Polishing: Simplifies the procedure, saving chair time and increasing efficiency.
- Optimal Abrasive Performance: The alumina particles are selected for their abrasive properties, delivering excellent results with minimal wear.

- Effective for Cement Removal: Useful for removing excess composite or cement without damaging delicate inlays.
- Versatile Applications: Effective for stain removal and polishing tooth enamel after scaling or professional cleaning.
