Panther Finale
The concluding step in the Panther polishing protocol. The Finale's silicone-impregnated medium produces a mirror-quality, optically clear surface on ceramic, zirconia, composite, and acrylic restorations.
The Last Step. The Best Step.
The Panther Finale is formulated as the definitive final polishing step in the Panther system. Its silicone-impregnated medium carries ultra-fine abrasive particles that gently burnish the pre-polished surface to a brilliant, optically clear gloss — the kind of finish that elevates the perceived quality of every restoration.
While engineered as the cap to the Panther protocol, the Finale also performs exceptionally as a standalone polisher on surfaces that have already been pre-polished by equivalent systems. Compatible with all commonly used restorative materials.

The Science of Mirror Gloss
Silicone-Impregnated Matrix
The Finale's bonded silicone matrix acts as both the carrier and a polishing agent, creating a flexible, conforming contact surface that reaches into contours and embrasures uniformly.
Ultra-Fine Abrasive Load
Ultra-fine abrasive particles within the matrix perform the final micro-leveling of the surface, eliminating the micro-scratches left by the Panther Ultra step and creating a true optical finish.
Self-Cooling Action
The silicone medium dissipates frictional heat efficiently, reducing the risk of thermal stress to the restoration during the final polishing stage. Use dry for best results.
Application Guidance
Within the Panther Protocol
Apply the Finale immediately following the Panther Ultra step. Rinse and dry the restoration thoroughly before proceeding. Use gentle, intermittent pressure at 5,000 – 10,000 RPM. Work all surfaces systematically, then rinse and assess the final gloss under natural or daylight-corrected laboratory lighting.
A single Finale instrument is typically sufficient for multiple restorations when technique is correctly applied.
Standalone Application
When using the Finale on surfaces pre-polished by other systems, ensure the surface has reached a satin-level finish equivalent to the Panther Fine or Ultra step before applying. The Finale is not designed to remove coarse scratches or reduce material — it is a final gloss enhancer only.
Ideal for clinical correction and re-polishing of glazed ceramics after intraoral adjustment.
