Super-Snap X-Treme is an enhanced version of the green (fine) and red (superfine) polishing disks included in the original Super-Snap polishing system. Super-Snap is a four-step disk system that includes black (coarse) and violet (medium) disks for contouring and finishing plus green and red disks for polishing composite restorations. The grit on the polishers contains aluminum oxide and there is no metal center on the disk. The Super-Snap X-Treme red and green disks are thicker and stiffer in order to increase durability and tactile feel. The red disk has a new 3-D semispherical grit coating designed to create space for ground debris and to discharge that debris during polishing, resulting in a smoother, glossier finish with less heat production. The disks are available in 8 and 12 mm diameters and have an elastic silicone shank that fits onto disposable plastic or re-usable metal mandrels. Super-Snap X-Treme was evaluated by 16 consultants in 399 uses. These composite polishers earned a 98% clinical rating.
