What makes this product stand out?

Sof-Lex XT Extra Thin F&P Discs are developed to deliver consistent abrasive performance and simplified disc changes during restorative procedures. The Sof-Lex XT Extra Thin F&P Discs system is recognized for reliable color-coded grit progression and secure pop-on attachment.

Key advantages include:

  • Medium-grit abrasive enhances contouring efficiency and smooths composite surfaces
  • Pop-On disc design enables quick changes and reduces chairside interruption
  • Flexible disc construction adapts to tooth anatomy and restoration margins
  • The color-coded system simplifies grit identification and workflow organization
  • 85-count box supports high-volume restorative finishing

What is this product made of?

Sof-Lex XT Extra Thin F&P Discs are composed of a flexible backing embedded with aluminum oxide abrasive particles. This combination provides controlled cutting action while maintaining adaptability to curved surfaces.

At-a-glance comparison:

  • Aluminum oxide abrasive compared with carbide finishing burs: broader surface smoothing and refined contouring control
  • Pop-On disc system compared with screw-type discs: faster attachment and simplified instrument handling

The flexible backing of Sof-Lex XT Extra Thin F&P Discs allows the abrasive surface to conform to facial and lingual contours. This design supports uniform finishing without aggressive gouging or uneven reduction.

What is it used for?

Sof-Lex XT Extra Thin F&P Discs are used to contour and finish composite restorations after initial shaping. They help refine surface anatomy prior to progressing to finer polishing steps.

Common applications include:

  • Contouring Class III and Class IV anterior restorations
  • Refining margins on posterior composite restorations
  • Smoothing transitional areas between composite and enamel
  • Finishing veneer margins in composite cases
  • Preparing surfaces for fine and superfine polishing discs

Sizing & selection

Selecting the correct disc size and grit ensures efficient finishing and predictable results.

Grit selection:

Medium grit discs, such as Sof-Lex XT Extra Thin F&P Discs, are typically used after coarse contouring to refine shape and reduce surface irregularities. Follow with fine and superfine grits for final polish.

The 1/2-inch size is well suited for anterior surfaces and detailed contouring. Confirm that the Sof-Lex XT Extra Thin F&P Discs' diameter meets your access needs.

Attachment system:

The Pop-On design requires a compatible mandrel. Ensure your handpiece setup is compatible with Sof-Lex XT Extra Thin F&P Discs.

Workflow integration:

Using a complete Sof-Lex XT Extra Thin F&P Discs grit sequence can standardize finishing across operatories and improve consistency.

For most composite finishing procedures, Sof-Lex XT Extra Thin F&P Discs provide reliable contouring control within a structured polishing sequence.
