PROFIN PDX® DIRECTIONAL SYSTEM
THE ULTIMATE INSTRUMENTATION FOR FINISHING AND POLISHING FOR PROFESSIONALS
The Profin® System is the professionals choice for all kinds of cleaning, finishing and
contouring of dental surfaces – natural or restored.
The precise and well defined reciprocating movement provided by the Profin PDX handpiece is
easier to control than a rotating instrument and minimizes risk of unintentional scuffing or indentation. Thanks to the limited movement of the tip, there is also no heat build-up that requires
view-limiting water spray during delicate work.

Reciprocating instrumentation
The Profin System offers a broad spectrum of use:
• Cleaning, finishing and contouring during periodontal and prosthodontic therapies.
Professional Mechanical Tooth Cleaning (PMTC) – as defined by Prof. Per Axelsson, D.D.S,
Ph.D, internationally recognized author, lecturer and inventor of the original EVA dental
handpiece. PMTC includes finishing, contouring and cleaning of all dental surfaces, including
root cementum.
• Perfect for clean-up of tooth surfaces after de-bonding of orthodontic appliances
• Recommended for use during restoration treatment with dental CAD/CAM system
A wide array of working tips provide multi-use properties in most areas of dentistry, where accurate and gentle, yet efficient surface treatment of teeth is required.
THIS IS WHY PROFIN IS THE NATURAL CHOICE WHEN YOU WORK PROFESSIONALLY:
PERIODONTICS AND PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY
• Gentle cleaning of root surfaces with minimal or no damage to the root cement
(with Per-io-Tor tips)
• Professional cleaning and polishing of all dental surfaces
• Efficient removal of restorational overhangs
The handpiece and the dedicated and wide assortment of abrasive tips offer unlimited access to hard-toreach intraoral areas, allowing reshaping of enamel and restorations made of porcelain, metal, composite
and amalgam. Per-io-tor (left) instruments are specially designed for access and treatment of root surfaces
including root grooves in narrow bone pockets and furcation areas.
PROSTHODONTICS
• Fine-tuning of all kinds of preparations
• Individually adapted shaping and contouring for enhanced aesthetics
• Finishing and polishing of all restorations, also in hard-to-reach areas
The Profin system is an excellent tool for refining interdental, gingival and incisal embrasures to a natural
form, contouring and individualizing anterior restorations, reshaping contacting tooth surfaces, and finefinishing the margins of porcelain or metal restorations prior to cementation.
The
reciprocating
tips can be used
vertically (left) as
well as horizontally
(right) even when
rubberdam is placed
in contrast to rotating instruments.
Initial finishing of the occlusal surface has been
carried out with a pear-shaped finishing bur. Observe the rough unfinished mesial surface.
The approximal surface and line angles
were stepwise finished with reciprocating
15 µm diamond- and wolfram-coated safe-sided
tips. For final polishing, the triangular pointed
wooded tip (EVA-7) and fluoride polishing paste
was used.
ORTHODONTICS
• Interdental cleaning during orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances
• Stripping
• Clean-up of tooth surfaces after de-bonding
OTHER ADVANTAGES:
• Reciprocating movement is easy to control
• Does not damage adjacent teeth (safe-sided tips)
• No heat build-up
• Can be used next to rubber dam without getting entangled
• Use tips in free rotation 360º or in locked-in position
Free rotation 360º
PROFIN/EVA LAMINEER TIPS:
The tip assortment includes diamond coated Lamineer Tips in various shapes and grits. For removal of gross
overhangs and shaping of all restorative material - use tips with large particle size. For final polishing - use
tips with small particle size. Tungsten Carbide does not scuff enamel, therefore use Tungsten coated tips
when shaping and polishing the transition area between composite and enamel. Plastic and wooden tips are
used for professional cleaning and polishing of any tooth surface, with or without prophy paste.
Various diamond- and wolfram-coated safe-sided
spatula- and double knife-edged instruments.
The pointed double knifeedged safe sided
diamond coated tip (Lamineer LTA-S50), and the
corresponding spatula-shape (LTA-50).
