CRATEX Small Dental Polishing Wheels

Small wheels (up to 1 inch) are most used CRATEX products in dental laboratories. Small diameter rubber wheels will help you grind, polish and smooth orthodontic workpieces. Most laboratory professionals use coarse grit wheels for cutting. For polishing and finishing operations are used fine and extra fine grit wheels. Alongside grit you need to choose wheel thickness and shape (tapered or straight) for more delicate and difficult to reach areas between implants.  

Small wheels are appropriate for large surface polishing and smooth finishing of acrylics and plastic retainers, porcelain crowns and bridges, ceramic teeth and partial framework. Technician love to use CRATEX rubber polishers because they can rest assured rubber will not harm and mar teeth surface. They are very durable and long-lasting.

Contouring using small wheels can be done quickly and without excess heat. Combined with other CRATEX dental polishers, the lab technician can make teeth with correct size, shape and texture. This way you can create a natural-looking restoration that will please both - dentist and a patient.

CRATEX Large Dental Polishing Wheels

Large wheels are used with some of the dental lathes. Orthodontic technicians and dental practitioners primarily use CRATEX coarse (green) 3" wheel for trimming - a bulk reduction of acrylic for removable orthodontic appliances. These are real time savers which makes your lab more profitable.

Large wheels cut the acrylic retainer very fast so technician gets the basic shape of the retainer in just a few minutes. Using CRATEX rubber abrasive wheels risk to damage wires in retainer is reduced to the minimum. This way you will save a lot of time since the removal of bulk acrylic and contouring can be done with just one wheel. There is no need or (minimal) to use metal bur in this initial stage. There is no need to use polishing paste.

CRATEX Rubber Points

Rubber points are perfect for initial and fine polishing (depending on a grit size) of acrylic retainers, porcelain teeth, ceramics bridges and crowns and hard to reach teeth areas. All this leaving no streaks on acrylic, porcelain, ceramic, gold or metal surface.

Achieve smooth and uniform surface as well as clean and sleek edges using extra fine grit size CRATEX points.

Choose point shape (bullet point, tapered or cylinder) and size depending on the workpiece and attach on your favorite rotary tool. For pre-polishing start with medium grit and finish with fine polishing using extra fine (grey green) grit. Easily carved rubber points perfect to go under retainer wire and polish and smooth surface to almost mirror finish. Using shaped polishing points is much cleaner then pumicing and easier than using buffing wheels.
