The 3M ESPE Sof-Lex Spiral Wheels Diamond Polishing System Kit, a groundbreaking advancement in dental finishing and polishing. This innovative two-step, single-use system redefines the way dentists achieve impeccably smooth and high-gloss results on restorations.
The Sof-Lex Spiral Wheels are designed with a flexible shape that adapts effortlessly to the most challenging tooth surfaces, including irregular, convex, and concave areas, eliminating the need for multiple tools. Their ability to reach hard-to-access spots like line angles and occlusal grooves sets them apart. With one shape that works from any angle, these wheels simplify intraoral work, especially on posterior teeth, thanks to embedded abrasive particles on all surfaces.
This versatile system is suitable for various direct and indirect restorations, including composites, glass ionomers, temporary materials, and precious metals. The Sof-Lex Spiral Wheels are gentle on gingival tissues and achieve a lifelike luster in a single step.

Polishing (Superfine Polishing Wheel – White):
- Replace the fine finishing wheel with the superfine polishing wheel on the mandrel.
- Apply light to moderate pressure, similar to the finishing step.
- Polish the restoration surface in a slow and controlled manner.
- Aim to achieve a very smooth, high-gloss polish.
Evaluate and Adjust as Needed:
- Periodically inspect the restoration surface for the desired finish. If necessary, repeat the polishing step to achieve the desired result.
- Cleanup:
- Remove any debris or residue from the restoration surface.
- Completion:
- Your restoration should now have a natural-looking, high-gloss finish.
