Ball Burnisher #18 Double End Black Tip Stainless Steel Artifol

Description

Product Overview

The Ball Burnisher #18 from Artifol Enterprises is a premium dental instrument designed for restorative procedures that demand precision and control. Each unit in this three‑piece set features a double‑ended configuration, providing both a larger and a smaller spherical tip within a single instrument. The tips are fabricated from high‑grade stainless steel, delivering exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and a smooth surface that maintains its shape even after repeated use. What truly distinguishes this burnisher is the unique black coating applied to the spherical tips. The dark finish enhances visibility against the tooth structure, allowing clinicians to see the contact point clearly and apply the correct amount of pressure for optimal polish.

The ergonomic hollow handle is engineered to fit comfortably in the hand, reducing fatigue during lengthy procedures. Its lightweight construction, combined with a balanced weight distribution, gives the practitioner a natural feel and precise control. All components are fully autoclavable, meeting stringent infection control standards and ensuring the instrument can be safely reused day after day. The package dimensions of 9.06 x 1.97 x 0.63 inches and a weight of just 2.47 ounces make the set easy to store and transport, while the model number TNBB18 helps with inventory management.

Usage

The Ball Burnisher #18 is suited for a wide range of dental applications, including composite filling polishing, amalgam restoration finishing, and veneer smoothing. Its double‑ended design allows clinicians to select the appropriate tip size without swapping instruments, streamlining workflow and reducing chair‑time. The black coated tips provide enhanced contrast, which is especially valuable in low‑light operatory environments or when working on deep cavities where visibility is limited.

During a typical composite polishing sequence, the larger tip is used first to remove excess material and shape the restoration, followed by the smaller tip for fine‑tuning and achieving a high‑gloss finish. For amalgam restorations, the burnisher helps to compact the material and eliminate surface irregularities, resulting in a smoother marginal seal and improved patient comfort. The instrument is also compatible with a variety of polishing pastes and rubbers, making it a versatile addition to any dental practice.

Because the burnisher is autoclavable, it can be sterilized alongside other handpieces and instruments after each patient, ensuring compliance with infection control protocols. Its ergonomic handle reduces hand strain, allowing clinicians to maintain consistent pressure throughout the procedure, which translates into more predictable outcomes and higher patient satisfaction.
