What Is a Prophy Cup Polisher?

A prophy cup polisher is the rubber or silicone polishing cup used with a slow-speed handpiece for routine stain removal and finishing — "prophy cup polisher" and "prophy cup" refer to the same attachment. A prophylaxis brush does the same job with bristles instead of a cup and is the choice for polishing paste delivery across uneven tooth surfaces. The range below covers both the cup and brush polisher formats; for brushes made for finishing composite and ceramic restorations, see our Dental Polishing Brush for Restorations collection.
