Experiments were performed that demonstrated that the felt cylinder usually used to obtain abrasive biopsy specimens did not uniformly remove enamel from rounded or irregular enamel surfaces in the window area. A foam-silicone rubber laminate was developed to replace the felt cylinder. This resulted in greater uniformity of abrasion over the enamel surface within the biopsy window area and better operator handling characteristics.
