Acrylic Instruments — Wagner Precision
General acrylic instrument line for trimming, contouring, and polishing heat-cure and cold-cure acrylic materials. From initial casting flash removal through final high-gloss surface, Wagner Precision acrylic instruments cover every stage of the acrylic workflow.
Complete Acrylic Workflow Coverage
The Wagner Precision Acrylic Instrument line covers the complete acrylic processing workflow — from initial trimming and flash removal, through contouring and fitting, to final surface polishing. This distinguishes it from the Acrylic Polishers line, which is dedicated exclusively to the final polishing stage.
Whether you are trimming excess material from a freshly processed denture base, contouring the intaglio surface of a night guard, or adjusting a PMMA provisional chairside, this instrument line provides the correct abrasive for each stage of the task.

Acrylic Instruments vs. Acrylic Polishers
Acrylic Instruments (this page) — full workflow from trimming through polish. For cutting, shaping, contouring, and finishing across all acrylic processing stages.
Acrylic Polishers — dedicated polishing line formulated specifically for achieving final high-gloss surfaces on dentures and PMMA provisionals.
Acrylic Appliance Types
Acrylic instruments are required across a wide range of clinical and laboratory appliance types. Each application has specific shape and grit requirements.
Dentures
Full and partial denture bases require trimming of processing flash, contouring of the intaglio surface for fit, and final polishing of the tissue surface and polished surface.
Night Guards & Splints
Hard acrylic occlusal splints and night guards require precise trimming and smooth intaglio and occlusal surfaces for patient comfort and tissue health.
Retainers
Hawley and acrylic retainers require careful trimming around wire elements and smooth tissue-facing surfaces to maximize patient compliance.
Bleaching Trays & PMMA
Bleaching tray reservoirs, margins, and handles; milled and pressed PMMA provisional crowns and bridges — all benefit from purpose-formulated acrylic instruments.
