Representing a new concept in removables polishing, Acryl-Marvel polishing compound simultaneously removes scratches and applies a high-luster to acrylic full and partial dentures as well as orthodontic and clear appliances. Finishing and polishing in a dry atmosphere—without the use of wet, pumice-like materials—it provides optimal control with small brushes and wheels at the sit-down working area.

Following are steps for using Acryl-Marvel to polish and shine a full denture.

01 Finish all broad areas with a carbide and smooth with a silicone point (Fig. A).

02 If a carbide bur is used, smooth the scratches and cut areas with a silicone point prior to  applying Acryl-Marvel to transform the scratches (Fig. B) into a highly shined surface (Fig. C).

03 For bulk scratch removal and to polish the broad areas of the denture, apply the bar compound to a rag-type finishing wheel (Fig. D).

04 Re-apply as necessary (Fig. E) until all scratches are removed and the surface acquires a lustrous high gloss.

05 Use a medium brush or a wool wheel to maintain any intricate anatomical shapes and effects of the labial and buccal surfaces. Apply Acryl-Marvel to a small brush (or cloth wheel) and use a lathe or an electric handpiece (Fig. F) to attain a high luster (Fig. G).

06 Use the small, tooth-shaped nuggets for finishing and polishing repairs without cross contamination in individual cases (Fig. H).

07 Apply the material to either a rag wheel or small brush or wheel (Fig. I) and apply to the repair case for finishing and polishing.

08 Discard the unused material to eliminate the risk of cross contamination.
