FAQ

Are these brushes single-use or reusable? Most dental polishing brushes for restorations are designed for single-patient use to comply with infection control standards, though some autoclavable options may be available depending on the product line.

What polishing paste should be used with these brushes? A fine-grit or ultra-fine-grit polishing paste is generally recommended to achieve an optimal surface finish without compromising the restoration margins.
