exhibitors 11Hinman Dental Meeting — March 27, 2014 Super-Snap and Super-Snap X-Treme disks share many impor- tant features; however, the new enhancements offered with Super- Snap X-Treme disks makes these two systems distinctly different. X-Tra thickness Super-Snap X-Treme red and green discs are double the thickness of the originalSuper-Snapdisks,increasing from 50 µm to 100 µm (Fig. 1). Theextrathicknessimprovesstiff- ness and durability while maintain- ing flexibility in interproximal areas. Greater force can be applied when polishingcompositeswiththethicker Super-Snap X-Treme disks, allowing a noticeable increase in tactile feel and helping to produce a beautiful, glossy result to your restorations. Advanced 3-D technology The red superfine X-Treme disk fea- tures a new, advanced 3-D technology composed of round, semispherical grits homogenously arranged on the entire disk surface (Figs. 2a, 2b). The new semispherical-shaped surface provides space to discharge ground debris, resulting in less clogging of the disk and secondary scratches on the composite. Ground debris can collect and discharge within the crevices of the semi- spheres,helpingtomaintainasmooth disk surface for polishing. (Fig. 3) X-Treme gloss results Super-Snap X-Treme disks are taking polishing to the next level. A unique combination of extra thickness and advanced 3-D grit technology allows dentists to exceed the esthetic demands of patients. Shofu internal test results demonstrate extremely low surface roughness and remark- ably higher gloss levels compared with leading competitors (Fig. 4). Check it out today!

Super-Snap X-Treme’s red 3-D aluminum oxide grits allow space for ground debris to be discharged during polishing. This helps prevent secondary scratches and clogging and reduces generated heat without any denaturing of the material. 5 Fig. 4. A test was conducted to see a level of gloss after using well-known disk polishers to composite. The composite test samples of Beautifil II universal restorative (Shofu) are finished by #600 finishing paper, and they are tested under R.P.M. 10,000 min-1, pressure 1 N for 30 seconds.
