Komet USA has introduced ZR polishers, specially developed to meet the preliminary and final polishing requirements of zirconium oxide and other high-strength ceramic materials.
Launched this spring at the International Dental Show in Cologne, Germany, Komet ZR polishers impart a high shine when employed for the final polishing of restorations fabricated of zirconium oxide and other hard, high-strength materials, including aluminum oxide and pressed ceramics, according to the company.
Incorporating interspersed diamonds, Komet ZR polishers produce a sheen in two steps identified by the color of the ZR polisher: blue for prepolishing and light gray for high-shine final polishing.
Each color polisher is available in three sizes. The 94011 C (blue) and 94011 F (gray) polishers measure 26 mm in diameter and are 2.0-mm thick; the 94012 C (blue) and 94012 F (gray) are 11 mm in diameter and 1.7-mm thick; and the 94013 C (blue) and 94013 F (gray) are 17 mm in diameter and 2.5-mm thick.
