By LM-Dental Staff n The clinical challenge: Instru- ments (tips) intended and used for implant maintenance are too bulky, especially in cases when patients have healthy, tight tissue around the implants. Proposed solution: ErgoMix Mini ImplantInstrumentsfromLM-Dental. Reasoning supporting the solution: According to LM-Dental, dental prac- titioners were frustrated with the tip sizes of implant hand instruments. They approached LM with their frus- tration and shared improvement sug- gestions. In response, LM, a market- leading instrument manufacturer in Europe, known for being sensitive to practitioners’ needs and passionate about clinical relevance, designed a series of titanium implant instru- ments with mini-sized tips. These LM ErgoMix implant instru- ments are made of softer-than-stand- ard titanium alloy that is gentle on implants yet effective for calculus removal. ErgoMix implant instru- ments also feature replaceable tips and large diameter (12 mm) silicone surfaced handles that, according to the company, improve comfort. The ErgoMix replaceable tip mech- anism is engineered so that no tools are needed to change the tips. That means there is no wrench tool to lose — guaranteed. The tips line up perfectly to the handles, making ErgoMix technology the 21st-century version of the outdated cone-socket system, according to the company. The implant series includes four instrument patterns: Mini Gracey 1/2 — anterior (gray); Mini Gracey 11/12 — mesial (orange); Mini Gracey 13/14 — distal (blue); and Mini Universal — universal, all surfaces (red). They are available as a kit, containing one of each instrument and a cassette, or they may be purchased individually.
