And, it is easy to understand why: these products relect an unmet need to simplify one of the most tedious and exacting dental procedures— posterior resin composite restorations. KaVo and Kerr addressed this need by leveraging their respective areas of expertise to deliver SonicFill, a posterior composite system that improves adapta- tion, provides better sculptability, lowers shrinkage stress, improves curing charac- teristics, and has the strength, durability and aesthetics one would normally expect from a posterior composite. SonicFill is the only bulk ill composite able to combine all the placement advan- tages of a lowable with the strength of a highly illed resin composite, in a single material. Kerr’s SonicFill composite incor- poratesspecialmodiiersthatreacttosonic energy delivered by the KaVo handpiece. These modiiers dramatically lower the viscosity of the composite during place- ment, providing superior adaptation to the cavity walls and reducing the voids, gaps andseamstypicallyfoundbetweencompo- site layers. The composite then returns to a non-slumping, sculptable state, making contouring anatomy fast and eficient. InthisinterviewwithAndreasThanner and Thomas Birk, Senior Product Mana- gers at KaVo, get into some of the details behind the MASTERmatic release and its importance to the overall handpiece category. KaVo introduced the MASTERmatic series at the 2015 International Dental Show. Why is this a meaningful launch for KaVo? With the launch of the new MASTER- matic series, KaVo will cement its role as the leading innovator in the premium segment. The MASTERmatic series has a new design and new productfeatures and will—after 12 years—replace the premium GENTLEpower series. What is the most significant improvement to the MASTERmatic series? Without a doubt, the head size reduc- tion of the speed-increasing instrument MASTERmatic M25 L is our most impor- tant achievement. After hundreds of inter- views with dentists all over the world, head size was the most mentioned product feature. Along with a 5 mm depth of cure and less shrinkagestressthanalayeredcomposite, SonicFill allows dentists to reliably place mostposteriorrestorationsinjustonestep. Kerr, a Danaher company, and part of the KaVo Kerr Group, is one of the world’s leaders in dental and endodontic equip- ment and instrumentation. “Customers talk, we listen,” is the driving force behind all new product introductions, and the reason the KaVo Kerr Group maintains this market leadership position today. SonicFill is KaVo Kerr Group’s response to the clearly articulated customer need for a reliable and easy placement technique for posterior restorations without clinical compromise. Customers have enthusiastically embraced the SonicFill system, inding that it makes appointments less stressful and outcomes more predictable—beneit- ting both the doctor and the patient. KaVo Kerr Group is committed to sup- porting and expanding its exclusive inno- vation all around the globe, and is happy to announce SonicFill 2, to be introduced in the irst half of 2015. SonicFill 2 offers improved aesthetics and even easier use, making a product so many clinicians have cometoloveevenbetter.Moreimportantly, Wewereabletoreducetheheadvolume, which means head height and head shape, by20percent,andwiththecombinationof the KaVo exclusive 100-degree head angle andthetriplegearsystem,we’veimproved tremendously the access and view of the treatment ield. In addition, we added the speed-increasinginstrumentMASTERma- tic M05 L Mini to the series with an even 43 per cent smaller head by volume. This is specially designed for short shaft burs, so if the dentist is facing a situation where not enough space is available such as for treating paediatric or elderly patients this is the instrument to use. What are the other new features? MASTERmatic instruments belong to the Master series, which makes them the pinnacle of innovation. One valuable new feature is the changeable water il- ter, which gives the dentist the ability to change the clocked water ilter easily by him or herself. Therefore, the instrument doesn’tneedtobesentinforrepairandthe dentisthaszeroinstrumentdowntime.Itis also the only speed-increasing instrument in the market with a triple gear system, delivering a smooth and vibration-free performance. Some users will notice that we adapted the MASTERmatic design to the well-received MASTERtorque turbine, introduced at the last IDS. WhatelsemakesKaVotheleadinginnova- tor for dental handpieces? Over the years, KaVo has registe- red over 2,200 patents. Our ideas come directly from listening closely to customer needs. For example, the carbide bur guide for speed increasing instruments guides the dental burs and guarantees the best concentricity and durability, especially during crown or bridge cutting. The bur guide got assembled in over 1 million instruments, so this proves that our cus- tomers appreciate such unique features. Maintenance requirements for dental handpiecesaregettingstricter.Howdoes this affect KaVo instruments? We are very well prepared. For years, KaVo has upheld a very high internal stan- dard. Internal tests are up to four times longer than required. The well-known KaVo Plasmatec coating guarantees excel- lent hygiene and a perfect grip, even after years of use. What is the Direct Stop Technology (DST)? The DST is an active brake system that stops the bur within one second. This is a major safety feature to secure that there is no rotating bur, when the dentist removes the turbine from the mouth or when they want to change the bur very fast. Another big advantage is that when the patient makes a fast movement, the risk of contacting the cheek with the rotating bur is signiicantly reduced. With this safety feature there is no need to avoid working with a turbine and the dentist can get the full advantages of a light turbine and the special haptic advantages. A further technical point is that the DST stops the suck back of aerosols into the turbine.  it retains all of the important characteris- tics that make it safe and effective as a single-step posterior composite system. If you have not had a chance to view SonicFill, make sure you take the time to try it. You will see why so many doctors claim they would not want to practice without it, and why it is responsible for so much of the growth in popularity of the bulk ill composite category around the world.  in the market with a triple gear system,  Mastermatic M25 L
