I dont think the answer is gingival tear, as soflex discs are gentle on gingiva (source:internet), since soflex discs are operated on low speeds, i dont think gingival/mucosal burn is the right option. So in my opinion, lack of finger support can cause the disc to slip into mucosa and cause mucosal tear. From: myra906@...Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2012 06:42:06 -0800Subject: Re: Soflex Disc
