Clinical Overview
The Jiffy™ Composite Polishing Brushes, Regular (Code 850), are slow-speed, Latch-type rotary brushes featuring dense fiber tufts each embedded with thousands of silicon carbide micro‑abrasive particles. They are engineered for direct‑finishing and polishing of composite and ceramic restorations—even within deep fissures—without requiring additional paste. Each brush is latex‑free, autoclavable (within recommended cycles), and delivered in 10‑piece multipacks for clinical economy.
Key Benefits
- Self‑contained abrasiveness: Every bristle acts as a miniature polishing tool—no accessory paste needed.
- Occlusal access: Brush head easily adapts to fissures, grooves, and proximal line angles for full contouring coverage.
- High‑integrity design: Nickel‑plated brass (partial gold-plated) shank resists wear; brush tolerates multiple low-temperature autoclave cycles with minimal degradation.
- Latex‑free construction: Safe for patients and staff with natural rubber latex sensitivities.
- Clinical throughput: Includes 10 individually‑replaceable brushes in a compact durable vial—ideal for high‑volume practice settings.
Refill Contents
- 10 × Jiffy™ Composite Polishing Brush – Regular shape (Code 850), 2.35 mm latch‑type shank
- Each with dense fiber tuft impregnated with silicon carbide grit
- Dispensing tube (non‑sterile) with sealed perimeter for infection‑control layout
Indications
- Anatomic contouring, finishing, and gloss polishing of composite restorations
- Final-finishing of ceramic and hybrid ceramic resin restorations
- Detailing narrow fissures and occlusal anatomy after curing
- Enhancing surface luster and smoothness—especially in grooved posterior elements
Instructions for Use
- Attach Jiffy brush to a 2.35 mm latch-type handpiece; preferably a low-speed (RA or prophy grip).
- Set speed to 1,000–3,000 RPM; begin with firm, steady pressure while “whipping” the tuft through occlusal anatomy.
- Use slow, overlapping strokes rather than high-speed thrusts to avoid overheating or fiber breakage.
- Thoroughly rinse the tooth surfaces with air‑water spray; air‑dry and inspect under magnification to confirm sheen and margin continuity.
- One brush per restoration; discard immediately after single use to avoid cross-contamination—even if the fiber appears intact.
