Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | February 2016 a8 INDUSTRY NEWS Ad By Komet Staff Among the specialty products in- troduced at the most recent Inter- national Dental Show in Cologne, Germany, was Komet USA’s H255E cylindrical, small-dimension bone cutter. According to the company, it is designed to maximize cutting performance and is ideally suited for minimally invasive procedures. With a 1.2-mm diameter and a 6-mm-long blade, the Komet® H255E bone cutter features: excep- tionally sharp, cross-cut toothing; large chip spaces; and long cutting edges along its cylindrical work- ing portion, facilitating intuitive, tactile operation, according to the company. The small-dimension in- strument is particularly effective for fine and/or linear bone cuts as well as for hemisections, axial bone perforations, crestal opening of the alveolar ridge and apicoectomies. Allowing conservative yet ef- fective preparations and distin- guished by its long service life, the H255E is the cylindrically shaped counterpart of the established Komet H254E tapered combination instrument that offers gentle prep- aration of bone tissue and hard tooth substance. The H255E bone cutter incor- porates a black, identifying color band to indicate its particular sharpness. Also among the Komet in- strument innovations fea- tured at the International Dental Show was the H162ST (“saber tooth”) bone cutter, de- scribed as “a new generation of oral-surgery instruments.” Applying the knowledge and experience gained from its successful developments in the medical sector to the needs of dentistry, Komet has incorporated the blade geometry of its renowned cranial-surgery instruments into a new tungsten-carbide rotary instrument specifi- cally designed for oral sur- gery, producing the new ST configuration for proven ef- fectiveness. The H162ST’s innova- tive toothing provides the sharpness, cutting behavior and maximal control required for bone cuts during osteotomies, osteoplasty procedures, bone and bone-lid preparations, apicoecto- mies and hemisections, according to the company.
