The Axis Orthodontic Adhesive Removal Kit features a series of three devices designed to efficiently remove residual adhesive after orthodontic appliance removal and to provide a smooth final enamel surface.

The three-step system includes: 7675 Red Carbide, a gross adhesive removal bur (H375R-016); White Finishing Carbide, a 30-fluted finishing bur (H246L-012UF); and the P0153-031 Polisher green polishing point (#P0153-031).

All are conveniently maintained in an autoclavable, aluminum bur block. This kit can be used with either low- or high-speed friction-grip contra-angle handpieces.

Using high speed creates less vibration, so the process is more comfortable for patients and produces a smoother surface finish. Since this simple, three-step system can be used with only a single handpiece, it is more clinical efficient while effectively removing residual adhesive and providing ideal polishing after bonded, banded and Invisalign treatments.

AXIS Orthodontic Adhesive Removal Kit is available from Axis Sybron Dental Specialties, 800 W. Sandy Lake Road, Suite 100, Coppell, TX 75019; (888) 452-8879.
