Microfil Composite Instruments are intended to be sterilized by the dentist prior to each use. It is used for composite restoration development. The thin paddles shape light-cured composites. Paddles slide under the gum line to shape the margin. The flat ends contour the surfaces of the teeth and the thin edge is used to create esthetic highlights.
