The new Komet ceramic instruments are a revolution in dentistry and allow the dentist to work on bones with utmost sensitivity. These pioneering instruments in white are another prime example of the innovative power of the brand Komet and illustrate, once again, the legendary Komet quality.

The most outstanding features of these new ceramic instruments include reduced vibration, pleasantly smooth operation and continuous substance removal. Whether used in implantology or jaw surgery – these instruments for working on bones are a whole new experience!


A multi talent on the advance
Thanks to its outstanding properties, ceramic has proved invaluable in a vast range of applications for decades. Ceramic materials are not only established in the dental field, for example for implant abutments, but also in orthopaedics, for example for ballshaped heads used in hip surgery. Ceramics are also successfully used for industrial components that are particularly prone to wear – such as axes and plain bearings – as well as in chemistry and electrical engineering. All these are perfect reasons for taking advantage of the positive experience
gathered with this material.

Outstanding properties
Thanks to its excellent properties, ceramic comes up to even the highest expectations. It is highly resistant to pressure, to wear and tear and to aggressive chemical substances. The favourable electric and magnetic characteristics of ceramics are used in a variety of applications. The ceramic instruments contained in Komet’s CeraLine series are made of special, high performance ceramics composed of zircon-dioxide ceramic partly stabilized by yttrium and aluminium ceramic.

The mixture of these two established materials provides CeraLine with an above-average bending strength of 2,000 MPa. In comparison, the bending strength of zirconium oxide ceramic which is used, amongst other things, for the manufacture of root posts, is 1,200 MPa. It is this special mixture that allows this material to be used in the manufacture of rotating, cutting instruments.

Biocompatible – 100% metal-free
Ceramic is distinguished by its absolute biocompatibility, enabling patients to be treated without being exposed metal ions. Treatment with CeraLine instruments protects the patient from material related exposure. The ceramic instruments provided by Komet ideally complement the strategy of a completely metal-free implantation.

The HIP production process (Hot-Isostatic-Pressing) further densifies the material.
