Komet USA has launched the Duet FP One-plus-One kit for the finishing and polishing of composite restorations.
The kit combines two of the company's instrument systems in a single kit: Q-Finisher carbides are matched with the new one-step, light-yellow polishers.
The procedure begins with the Q-Finisher carbide instruments, which have cross-cut toothing engineered to provide optimal surface quality on composite restorations, the company explained in a press release. The noncutting tips ensure gentle finishing without damage to gingiva. The new, one-step polishers have a silicone bond that conforms to tooth anatomy. They incorporate ultrafine-grit diamond particles for delivery of a final, high-shine polish to composites.
The kit contains one flame-shaped polisher, one cup-shaped polisher, two labial finishers, one palatal finisher, and one occlusal finisher. The kit also includes a specialized Komet stainless steel bur block with silicone inserts to hold the instruments in place. All kit components can be sterilized in an autoclave and are resistant to degradation and deformation, the company added.
