Q: How long will the Jiffy adjusters and polishers last?

A: Jiffy adjusters and polishers are designed for a long life of service. They are made of the highest quality materials and crafted with the most advanced manufacturing methods available today. The autoclavable aluminum block that is included with each kit is designed to extend the life of each piece by preventing warping from bagging separate pieces in the autoclave and dropping pieces on the floor. Longevity of Jiffy adjusters and polishers can depend on several factors, including the use of an electric handpiece, and whether the pieces are maintained according to the recommended care and maintenance procedures.

Q: Why is it important to finish ceramics appropriately?

A: Due to the extreme hardness of materials such as zirconia and lithium disilicate, it is challenging to achieve a truly smooth surface when finishing ceramic restorations. If a restoration isn’t finished properly, it can result in microfracturing and abrasion of adjacent teeth. It is also challenging to achieve a truly high-gloss finish which helps give a natural and esthetic look to the restoration.

Q: What is the best way to adjust and polish ceramics?

A: Ceramics should be finished using adjusters and polishers that are designed specifically for these materials. The Jiffy Universal System gives you the highest quality adjusters and polishers available. These adjusters and polishers are made of specially formulated Ultradent diamond grit, which enables you to achieve the highest quality finish possible. The system comprises a simple two-step process at each stage that effectively smooths and polishes all ceramic materials.
