FAQ’s Venus® Supra

1. What are the advantages of Venus Supra?
Venus Supra is a polisher system with pre- and high gloss polishers, that are used on finished composite restorations. You will achieve a long-lasting, high gloss polish for every composite without several instrument changes. Venus Supra offers everything you need for polishing without having to combine different polishers and systems. Venus Supra will not only save you time, but also money – the polishers can be autoclaved and reused several times.

2. Can I use only the pre-polisher or the high-gloss polishers?
It is not recommended. As the composition of the pre- and high-gloss polishers is different, if you only use the pre-polishers you won‘t achieve the highest lustre of the restoration and if you only use the high-gloss polishers the surface will shine but to achieve the highest gloss possible you should always use the high gloss polisher. This will in turn aid to a longer lasting polish.

6. Can I increase the rotation of the instrument to polish faster?
No, the maximum permitted rotational speed (10,000 rpm) should never be exceeded. The polishers tend to vibrate when the maximum permitted rotational speed is exceeded, which can lead to damage to the polisher, bending of the shaft and/or breakage of the instrument, i.e. constituting a danger to the user, the patient or third parties. The best results will be obtained with a rotational speed of around 7,500 rpm.
