I have the smallest amount of residual stone between the contacts of the teeth tried floss even and no good. any suggestions?

If MasterCeramist's idea doesnt' work, and the tip of a new BP won't do it, maybe if you have a diamond disc it would fit and abrade it off? I don't mean spinning in the h/p, just wiggle it in there some.

But MasterCeramist had the better suggestion
 
Have you tried a small bristle brush with vaseline and or fine pumice on low speed? I usually use plaster and stone remover in the ultrasonic.

We use
Pala® Lab Putty – Base and Catalyst Sets
Shore 90, Light Blue, 1.5 kg from Heraeus Kulzer. You won't have any stone.

This is the best putty we've found!
 
I used to use a Sympro with plaster/stone remover.

Where I'm at now we flash a hot blade to seal interproximals.
I find this better because:
1. No amount of detail that minute shows up at conversational distance.
2. It lessens the surface area of the cameo exposed to food/ biofilm.
3. The finisher doesn't have to go in after some unreachable problem and waste time.

I try to think in terms of medical device and less artwork
 
Let me add to that that we are really anal about closed contacts.
First thing QC will mention when they look at the set up.
It makes it easier to seal it invisibly.
 
What did the Ivoclar training center guys have to say? It was Ivo that I learned this from. Have they changed their minds?
 
He said he was concerned it would inhibit the tooth bond, I am not sure what is what to be honest.
 
How can it inhibit the tooth bond when it is placed only on exposed surfaces of the tooth? Banghead
I think the training center guy better get a little retraining.

That is what I thought, but I don't know the chemistry behind it. Maybe I explained it poorly to him.
