The best dentists strive for perfection—a commitment demonstrated by the quality, function, and esthetics of their restorations. It carries through every aspect of their restorative procedures, including the final steps of finishing and polishing, where such high precision and attention to detail ensure flawless, high-gloss results.
With SS White’s Jazz Twist polishers, dentists can more easily achieve these brilliant outcomes across all restorative materials. The polishing system effectively reaches challenging tooth surfaces with a reduced risk of over-contouring, and without the need for paste.
“The system performed exceptionally well across the board, delivering smooth, high-quality finishes that looked outstanding esthetically and clinically on various restorative materials,” Dr. Lucynda Raben assured, noting how the polishers’ versatility simplified her inventory and saved valuable chair time.
“The gloss on crowns was far superior to any other products I’ve tried,” Dr. Christina Do shared. Following her review of Jazz Twist polishers, she enthusiastically declared, “I’ve finally found polishers that deliver what I need!”
Design and Functionality
Jazz Twist polishers feature a unique design that easily accesses occlusal and interproximal surfaces, reaches into grooves, and adapts to nearly any contour. Autoclavable for repeated use, they come in a 2-step system for composite, a 3-step system for porcelain, and a high-diamond concentration for zirconia—all offered in a range of sizes and grits.
“The Jazz Twist 2-step system for composite polished quickly and left no mess when polishing multiple Class II composite restorations in 1 quadrant,” Dr. John Crary recalled, adding, “The shape of the polisher is well suited for both the occlusal and inter-proximal aspects of the restorations, and its size covers a lot of the tooth for efficient, quick polishing.”
Dr. Agnes Knobloch described the polishers as “very efficient with excellent durability,” while Dr. Kenneth Chae said they generated less heat than solid, non-staggered polishers.
One evaluator was pleased that the versatile polishers provided functional access, and another evaluator called them “easy to use with few polishing steps to achieve good results.” Dr. Philip Aurbach agreed, sharing, “Jazz Twist polishers were easy to use—just pop it in and polish!” Dr. Raben suggested having a single block to hold all the polishers.
Surface Finish Quality
For Dr. Robert Scott Meuselbach, the Jazz Twist polishers were “very adaptable to all crown materials,” particularly noting that they “leave a fantastic, nonabrasive surface on zirconia crowns,” and that he also “used them to polish composite restorations with success.” He noted the polishers performed “without overheating restorations, and they hit all required areas with minimal effort.”
Dr. Rita Sabaitis said, “They created a smooth, glossy surface,” and Dr. Arthur Volker lauded the system as “a quick way to get a nice polish.” Dr. Knobloch favored the “excellent porcelain polishers,” and added, “Zirconia crowns polished after adjustment were very smooth.”
Praising the sheen produced by Jazz Twist polishers, Dr. Do was pleased that they “removed all the bur streaks and left a very nice feel for the patient—both for composite and crown treatments.”
Efficiency and Versatility
“The Jazz Twist polishers are intuitive to use and allow for a streamlined workflow,” Dr. Raben said. After completing a composite restoration and seating a zirconia crown next to a porcelain-over-zirconia crown, she emphasized, “One of the biggest advantages is the convenience of having a single kit that effectively handles multiple materials.”
“I really liked how they polished zirconia and porcelain,” Dr. Rick Adelstein said. Dr. Sabaitis “liked their versatility for each type of restoration,” and she found that the Jazz Twist polishers “saved time and reduced frustration with not being able to provide a ‘perfect, natural finish’ to my patients’ restorations.”
Dr. Knobloch said, “It took less time without polishing paste than my current polishers,” and Dr. Meuselbach said, “The product aided in efficiency while using a stepwise approach.”
“The Jazz Twist 2step system for composite lends itself to a more efficient, practical inventory than a full-fledged 3 step polishing system, and it is more effective than 1step composite polishers that don’t quite cut it,” Dr. Crary explained.
For Dr. Volker, the Jazz Twist polishers “simplified the polishing protocol for several materials beautifully” and enabled “an excellent polish while speeding up the polishing process.”
Overall Satisfaction
Dr. Chae described the Jazz Twist polishers as an “efficient and reusable product for completing desired polishing of different materials,” and Dr. Do said, “It’s an amazing product that made me happy with my outcomes.”
“We were genuinely impressed,” Dr. Raben concluded. “Overall, this is a thoughtfully designed and highly functional system that delivers consistent, professional results. We’re very pleased with its performance and happy to incorporate it into our daily practice.”
