ORTHO INDUSTRY NEWS Innovative Kit for Simplified Final Finishing of Composites The new Duet FP™ One-plus-One kit greatly simplifies finishing and polishing of composite restorations by pair-ing two innovative instrument systems in a single kit: Komet’s renowned Q-Finisher ® carbides are matched with the new one-step, light-yellow polishers. Together, the instruments make finishing and polishing composite easier and more efficient than ever before. The procedure begins with the Q-Finisher ® carbide instruments, which feature cross-cut toothing specially engineered to provide optimal surface quality on composite restorations. The non-cutting tips ensure gentle finishing without damage to gingiva. The new, one-step polishers feature a special silicone bond that provides exceptional flexibility and conformation to tooth anatomy. They incorporate ultra-fine-grit diamond particles for delivery of a final, high-shine polish to composites in a simple, efficient manner. 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 stainless-steel bur block featuring silicone inserts to hold the instruments in place. All kit components can be safely sterilized in an autoclave and are resistant to degradation and deformation.
