Finishing

Finishing Part 5

Use a Brown Rubber Wheel to rubberize the entire TCS partial. This is a crucial step for achieving a high shine in the polishing stage.
Use a TCS Mini Fuzz Buff to further smoothen the partial for an enhanced polish.

Finishing and Polishing

Finishing Part 4

Use a Pink Zirconia Bur or a Carbide Bur to gradually fit the partial for accurate retention.
Clasp adjustment tips included.

Pumice with Turbo Buff

The TCS Turbo cuts pumicing time in half and lasts 5 times longer than Rag Buffs. Turbo Buffs are used only for pumicing.

Waxing

Lingual Wax Application

Cutting an opening on the palate wax pattern allows the wax to bend for easier application.

Waxing

Create A Waxing Tool

To create a very smooth and natural contour, shape the eraser of a pencil into a wedge. Use the wedge in between teeth or nooks and crannies to achieve a natural festoon.
