5-MINUTE BUSINESS SYNOPSIS · Part 9 of 10
Zirconia that looks gray and lifeless under operatory light didn't fail in the mill. It failed in the polish step that came after.
What Dura-Rubber polishers actually do
ATTRITOR Dura-Rubber Zirconia Polisher, gray super coarse (item #112949, $13.20, in stock) is the first-stage polish that removes mill marks before finer-grit stages bring out translucency -- skip this stage and no amount of glaze fixes the surface texture underneath.
Why polish sequence, not just polish quality, matters
Jumping straight to a fine polisher without the coarse first stage leaves micro-scratches that catch light unevenly -- the restoration looks 'flat' even though the material itself is fine.
Cost per unit at this price point
At $13.20 per polisher and a typical service life across dozens of units, the per-restoration cost of doing this step correctly is close to zero.
