ZR Flash PolishersTM and three ZR DiamondsTM (LD0707 kit)
from KOMET® USA
KOMET offers an ideal range of rotary instruments designed to cut, finish, and polish full-contour restorations that are fabricated of zirconium oxide, lithium disilicate, aluminum oxide, or pressed ceramics. The Polishers and Diamonds are conveniently arranged and secured in a stainless steel, sterilizable bur block. These instruments feature distinct polishing and cutting characteristics that specifically address the unique material properties of today’s generation of dental ceramics. To recontour, adjust, or finish a zirconia, lithium-disilicate, or other high-strength ceramic crown — or to gain endo access through or remove high-strength ceramic restorations — KOMET’s ZR Diamonds are each engineered with a permanently bonded, densely packed diamond layer to meet the challenges of these new materials, whether at chairside or in the lab. The coarse-grit diamonds provide an exceptional performance-to-service life ratio, and the medium-grit versions are suitable for a range of adjustment procedures. For seating adjustments, preparing endodontic access, or crown removal, these diamonds save chairtime and optimize the quality of all-ceramic restorations. The kit’s ZR Diamond selection includes a medium-grit egg-shaped diamond (ZR379 FG-014) for minor adjustments, and features blue and white color coding for easy identification. The coarse-grit diamond (ZR6274 FG-016) for adjustments to crown anatomy can be identified by green and white rings, while the 4ZR FG-014 crown-cutter diamond, which has a gold shank and a white ring, is for cutting or removing high-strength ceramic crowns. To meet the preliminary and final polishing requirements of high-strength ceramic materials at chairside, KOMET’s ZR Flash Polishers smooth, polish, and impart a high shine when applied to restorations fabricated of zirconia, lithium disilicate, aluminum oxide, and pressed ceramics. Incorporating interspersed diamonds for consistent, reliable performance and a long working life, the polishers produce outstanding results in just two steps. Each step can be easily identified by the color — blue for smoothing and prepolishing and light gray for high shine final polishing. A golden shank serves as a distinctive visual mark. The KOMET® LD0707 kit of precision-engineered and carefully constructed instruments maximizes the potential of full-contour all-ceramic restorations and minimizes seating challenges.
