The DIAO - KP6878 is a parallel modified chamfer diamond used for crown preparation. Perfect your preps with Komet's DIAO, a next-generation diamond designed with pearls for precise cutting, excellent control and long-lasting sharpness.
Features:
- Easy control to remove material quickly and effortlessly, without the chatter
- Produces less heat and saves healthy tooth structure
- Efficiently removes tooth structure with less pressure and more control
- Reduces dental build up, making it easier to clean and reprocess
- Easily identify DIAO with its rose gold color
- Coarse Grit
- 8mm Working Length
- 450,000 Maximum Speed
Directions for use:
- Use at an optimum speed of 160,000 rpm, preferably in a red contra-angle or, alternatively, in a turbine. Instruments subject to a speed limit of 300,000 rpm are not authorized for use in a turbine (e.g., KP6370.314.030/035 or KP6845KR.314.025—see information on the label).
- Always provide sufficient spray cooling of at least 50 ml/min.
- For good preparation results, the surface should be smoothed with a finisher of matching shape after the initial preparation.
- The instruments remove substance very effectively. Therefore, only low pressure (< 2 N) needs to be applied during use.
Efficiency Created from Diamonds and Pearls.
The innovative diamond coating of DIAO burs is interspersed with ceramic pearls. This concentrates pressure on the tips of the diamond grains, greatly increasing their cutting efficiency.
34% Longer average service life 27% Greater initial sharpness
