We have validated the reprocessing of Enhance Flex instruments for up to 10 times!
Recommended: 3,000 – 8,000 RPMs. Maximum: 20,000 RPMs.
In general, follow the Application and Safety Precautions, which can be found on the DS website.
Follow the recommended rotational speed, and never exceed maximum speed. If possible, polish in slightly circular movements to avoid indentations. Excessive pressure should be avoided, as it may cause overheating. Sufficient water cooling is required during application (at least 50ml/min.).
The Application and Safety Precautions as well as the reprocessing instructions can be found on the DS website under our usual link: www.dentsplysirona.com/IFU
