Komet USA has introduced a new laboratory bur kit designed especially for creating shapes and textures in ceramic restorations that mimic the design of natural teeth.
Developed in conjunction with Olivier Tric of Elmhurst, IL, the Olivier Tric Diamond Ceramic Series Kit contains 11 high-end rotary instruments and was designed to create ceramic restorations, according to the company. The primary reason for the inclusion of diamonds and Komet's specialty carbide (H97) is for their ability to create proper shapes and textures on strong ceramic materials, making the restorations to appear like natural teeth, the company said.
Designed with a three-edged wedge, the H97.104.010 is for the fine trimming of ceramic occlusal surfaces.
The 801.104.018 diamond with a round head is included, along with the following instruments:
- 847.104.014 (flat-end taper)
- 850.104.016,023,025 (long round-end tapers)
- 860.104.012 (short flame)
- 862.104.018 (flame)
- 863,8863.104.012 (long flames)
In addition, a 911H.104.180 double-sided diamond disk (3 mm of diamond coating) is designed for the separating and contouring of the ceramic material.
