Material:

1. Construction:
   • Material: Typically made from soft rubber or a similar flexible material, often filled with pumice, a volcanic ash known for its abrasive properties.
   • Design: The cup is shaped like a small bowl or cup and is mounted on a rotary handpiece for effective use.

Features:

• Abrasive Surface: The pumice material provides a gentle abrasive action, effectively removing stains, plaque, and debris from tooth surfaces without damaging the enamel.
• Flexible Design: The cup’s flexibility allows it to conform to the contours of the teeth, ensuring thorough cleaning and polishing, especially in difficult-to-reach areas.
• Ease of Use: Designed for compatibility with standard dental handpieces, making it easy for dental professionals to incorporate into routine cleanings and polishing procedures.

Applications:

• Commonly used in prophylactic procedures to polish teeth after scaling and to enhance the aesthetic appearance of teeth.
• Ideal for use in conjunction with polishing pastes for a smooth, high-gloss finish on tooth surfaces.
