Clinical Overview
The Jiffy™ Fine Goat Hair Brush is a set of 10 precision finishing brushes constructed from ultra‑gently textured goat hairs. Designed specifically for final esthetic passivation of composite or ceramic restorations, these brushes pair with Ultradent™ Diamond Polish Mint and are operated in slow-speed handpieces at high RPM with moderate‑firm pressure—delivering a smooth, enamel‑like finish.
Key Benefits
- Natural‑hair finish: Goat hair produces a uniform, high‑luster polish with minimal micro‑abrasion.
- Efficient flow of polishing slurry: When used with Diamond Polish Mint, the brush ensures even distribution and controlled removal of microscopic resin particles.
- High‑speed refinement: Optimized for use at 8,000–10,000 RPM in slow-speed rotary instruments for consistent results across composite, ceramic, and zirconia surfaces.
- Brush with latch‑type mandrel: Attaches securely to standard latch‑type mandrels (2.35 mm), avoiding slippage even under firm technique.
- Pack of 10 brushes: Delivers excellent clinical value for high‑throughput practice settings.
Kit Contents
- 10 × detachable fine goat hair brushes, 2.35 mm latch-type base (Code 1029 for reference)
Indications
- Final surface polishing and luster elevation on composite restorations
- Removal of polishing paste residues (e.g. Diamond Polish Mint) before final curing
- Surface finishing of ceramic or hybrid restoratives where gloss enhancement is required
- Cases where post-resin smoothing near margins or micro‑etching is optional
Instructions for Use
- Attach brush securely to a 2.35 mm latch-type mandrel in a slow-speed handpiece.
- Apply a pea‑sized amount of Ultradent™ Diamond Polish Mint to the brush tip.
- Run the handpiece at high RPM (≈8,000–10,000 RPM) while applying moderate‑firm pressure in circular motions across restoration surfaces.
- Continue polishing until desired gloss is visually confirmed—generally within 10–15 seconds per surface.
- Rinse the tooth with water spray; air-dry and inspect polish consistency under magnification.
- Discard used brush after completion of the restoration finish to maintain hygiene and bristle integrity.
