How do stones differ from diamond burs?

Aluminum oxide stones: General-purpose finishing and smoothing
Silicon carbide stones: More aggressive abrasion for faster material removal
Ceramic stones: Provide consistent performance and durability
Coarse stones: Used for initial contouring
Fine stones: Used for smoothing and finishing

Stones provide more controlled and less aggressive abrasion, making them ideal for finishing rather than cutting.

Are finishing stones reusable?

Yes, they are designed for repeated use, though they wear over time.

Finishing & Polishing Stones

Finishing and polishing stones are rotary instruments used to smooth, contour, and refine tooth structure and restorative materials. Made from bonded abrasives, these stones provide controlled abrasion for shaping and surface refinement during dental procedures. Commonly used in restorative and prosthetic workflows, finishing and polishing stones help improve surface smoothness and prepare restorations for final polishing.
