In practicing restorative and adhesive dentistry, Dr. Atlas turns to numerous Komet instruments on a regular basis, and he has worked with the company to create sequenced, step-by- step kits to facilitate a variety of techniques. He selects configurations for direct-composite preparations and finishing, which he describes as the backbone of many practices. Dr. Atlas recognizes that preparation is critical to achieving an optimal outcome, and he emphasizes the necessity of using high-quality, predictably precise instruments to ensure success.

To achieve unmatched precision in margins, Dr. Atlas favors Komet USA’s sonic finishing handpiece and tips. He notes the importance of high-quality chairside and lab kits, particularly considering the growth of CAD-CAM ceramic restorations.

I designed several kits with Komet USA for CAD-CAM restorations as they are becoming a significant part of our practice. With the CAD-CAM, preparation is key to success. If you do not have a good prep, the outcomes can fail: you cannot get a good scan or good milling if the preparation is not perfect. I design kits to sequence the preparation so the end results are optimal.
