SiC-infused rubber instruments for efficient pre-polishing and surface refinement of metal, ceramic, and composite restorations. Silicon carbide abrasive uniformly distributed through a flexible silicone matrix delivers consistent, controlled material removal at every step.
Wagner Precision Silicone Carbide Infused Instruments embed silicon carbide particles uniformly throughout the silicone rubber matrix. As the outer surface wears during use, fresh abrasive is continuously exposed — delivering a self-sharpening cutting action that maintains consistent performance from first use to last. This makes them particularly effective for pre-polishing and surface refinement stages where a predictable rate of material removal is essential.

Each shape targets a specific surface geometry for complete coverage across all restoration types.
SiC infused instruments bridge the gap between coarse reduction and final high-gloss polish. Use them as the pre-polish step in any multi-step finishing sequence.
Ideal for pre-polishing precious, semi-precious, and base metal alloy crowns and bridges. Removes bur marks and coarse abrasive scratches prior to final buff polishing.
Suitable for surface refinement of feldspathic porcelain and fired ceramic restorations. Low-pressure, self-sharpening action minimizes the risk of surface cracking.
Effective pre-polish for both direct and indirect composite. Smooths surface irregularities prior to final silicone or felt disc polishing.
Can be used for light contouring and pre-polishing of heat-cure and cold-cure acrylic materials. Follow with dedicated acrylic polishers for final gloss.
