Product overview

Dura-White RD2 Round FG (Friction Grip), Aluminum Oxide Finishing Stones, 12/pk are micrograined aluminum oxide finishing stones designed for contouring, smoothing, and refining enamel and composite restorations. The round RD2 shape and fine-grit composition work together to deliver controlled abrasion and consistent performance in high-speed handpieces. This Complete Buyer's Guide helps you choose for precise finishing and predictable clinical results.

What makes this product stand out?

Dura-White RD2 Round FG (Friction Grip), Aluminum Oxide Finishing Stones, 12/pk stones are formulated to provide uniform abrasion while maintaining shape during use. The micrograined aluminum oxide composition and round RD2 design allow precise margin refinement and surface smoothing without excessive material removal.

Key advantages include:

  • Micrograined aluminum oxide delivers smooth finishing and controlled surface refinement
  • RD2 round shape enhances access to occlusal anatomy and supports detailed contouring
  • FG friction grip shank ensures secure use in high-speed handpieces
  • Durable stone structure maintains form during use and reduces frequent replacement
  • 12 per box packaging supports consistent stocking and operatory readiness

What is this product made of?

Dura-White RD2 Round FG (Friction Grip), Aluminum Oxide Finishing Stones, 12/pk stones are manufactured from micrograined aluminum oxide abrasive bonded into a white stone matrix. The material delivers consistent cutting action while minimizing aggressive removal, ideal for the refinement stage after gross reduction.

At-a-glance comparison:

  • Micrograined aluminum oxide vs coarse finishing stone: smoother surface refinement with reduced surface scratching compared to coarser grits
  • White finishing stone vs diamond bur: less aggressive cutting action with improved control during final contouring, compared to diamond's more aggressive material removal

This composition supports predictable finishing without excessive material removal, thereby improving surface quality and streamlining polishing sequences.

What is it used for?

Dura-White RD2 Round FG (Friction Grip) stones are used for finishing and contouring restorative materials and natural tooth structure, particularly effective during the refinement stage after initial preparation.

Common applications include:

  • Finishing composite restorations before final polishing
  • Refining enamel margins after preparation
  • Smoothing interproximal and occlusal surfaces
  • Contouring restorative materials for anatomical accuracy
  • Adjusting minor surface irregularities before final polish

Sizing & selection

Selecting the correct finishing stone improves control, efficiency, and restorative outcomes.

Shape selection:

Choose the Shofu Dura-White RD2 round shape when you need versatility for occlusal anatomy and margin refinement. The rounded profile supports controlled contouring in diverse clinical situations.

Grit level:

Fine-grit micrograined stones like Shofu Dura-White RD2 are ideal for finishing rather than aggressive reduction. Coarser stones or diamond burs may be used earlier in the finishing sequence.

Shank compatibility:

Confirm your handpiece accepts FG friction grip shanks. These stones are designed specifically for high-speed friction grip use.

Speed and pressure:

Use within the recommended speed range of 5,000-20,000 rpm (maximum 30,000 rpm) with contact pressure around 2N for optimal performance and stone longevity.

For many restorative workflows, Dura-White RD2 provides a balanced solution for precise finishing and smooth surface preparation before final polishing.
