SUPER-SNAP Rainbow Technique Kit

Consultants’ Comments

• “The best feature of SUPER-SNAP disks is the lack of a metal center.”
• “The flexible hub makes disks easy to change.”
• “Abrasive grit stays on the disk – does not flake off on the tooth.”
• “Final gloss is great.”

Description

The SUPER-SNAP Rainbow Technique Kit is a complete finishing and polishing kit for dental composites. The SUPER-SNAP Kit contains 180 assorted disks, 40 Polystrips, 2 Dura White Stones, one composite fine midi-point (rubber point), and four metal contra-angle mandrels. The disks come in four grits (superfine, fine, medium, and coarse), and each grit is supplied in two diameters: 7 and 12 mm. The disks are color-coded and arranged in a rainbow in the semi-circular organizer tray. SUPER-SNAP disks are also available in single-patient doses in the SUPER-SNAP Singles package. The finishing disks have elastic rubber shanks that hold the disk to the mandrel. SUPER-SNAP is manufactured without a metal center to minimize gouging and discoloration of the composite. Thirty-one consultants evaluated SUPER-SNAP Rainbow Technique Kit in over 1000 uses. This product received a 93% clinical rating.

Product Features

Consultants liked the thinness and design of the SUPER-SNAP finishing disks. The elastic hub with no metal was a well-liked feature. They preferred the smaller disks, finding them to be more useful than the large disks. Consultants were divided in their opinion about the finishing strips, with several commenting that the strips were ‘too thick.’ Significantly, the consultants liked the resulting finish, with many commenting that the system produced a high-quality surface finish. Several consultants commented that the cover of the kit was not secure. Fifty percent of consultants found the system to be better than their current product and 87% rated the SUPER-SNAP Rainbow Technique Kit to be equal to or better than their current finishing system. Seventy-seven percent of consultants would switch to SUPER-SNAP Rainbow Technique Kit, and 90% would recommend it to a colleague.

Clinical Tips

• Use the entire sequence of SUPER-SNAP disks from coarse to superfine.
• Use a light touch.
• Make sure the disk is fully seated on the mandrel.
• Use water when polishing to minimize clogging of disks.
