I Use That: KaVo MASTERmatic handpiece

If Dr. Marty Jablow had to get rid of his dental handpiece, he did not think he would think about practicing dentistry anymore.

This is because electric handpieces like KaVo's MASTERmatic are easier to use, he said, making him more efficient, reducing the amount of time patients spend on chairs and improving the end result.

The result of the efficiency and improvement described by Dr. Jablow is a direct result of the accuracy of the handpiece. They are designed to make it easy for clinicians to achieve the first smooth cut, which helps to ensure that the dentist completes the surgery more quickly and with greater confidence.

Why are they so accurate

Stephanie Goss, KaVo's product manager, points out that reducing vibration and enhancing head/knee angle combinations can also improve your experience. When you try to see the area you are working in, you don’t have to fight your handpiece and the handpiece can do a good job for you – which means less fatigue on your hands and wrists. Gauss said that users will find it easier to get the best results, leading to happier patients who may even prefer to receive more treatment and refer you to family and friends.

Dr. Jablow pointed out: "The electric handle is much lighter than before. "The head size and angle have been greatly improved, giving you better balance and visibility and making preparation easier. ”

Goff said that when the KaVo team designed the MASTERmatic power handle, they focused on making it more accurate. They not only have Triple Gear technology, they can reduce vibration and get more accurate preparation. The 100°/19° head/lap angle combination provides clinicians with maximum visibility and freedom of movement - and increases efficiency. .

"Overall, KaVo is committed to developing the most innovative products to advance dental technology and improve lives," said Gauss. "Each aspect of our product development process focuses on the end user and the goal is to provide the most sophisticated instrument on the market."

Dr. Jablow points out that regardless of the surgical procedure, you can set the torque and RPM, which helps ensure accurate cutting.

“You can do the job by dialing the exact amount of torque and RPM of the head. It's not across the board. You can be very precise because you can set the torque and RPM,” said Dr. Jablow. "The efficiency comes from the power of the handpiece. The handpiece is best suited for direct and indirect repairs because it can cut and speed up surgery more efficiently than a pneumatic handpiece."

How accuracy can benefit patients

The triple gear technology is designed to reduce vibrations, resulting in more accurate, smoother preparations and ultimately better seals for crowns and other restorations. As a result, patients not only spend less time on chairs, but they do not need to visit again, because the first time there was a problem, Gauss said. They walk out of your office and go through long-lasting recovery.

Gauss pointed out that the patient also had a better experience in the chair. The reduction of handpiece vibration not only makes the user more accurate, but also makes the patient's surgery more comfortable. The MASTERmatic handpiece is designed to be much quieter than what the patient usually experienced when using a noisy rig. The head/lap angle combination makes it easier for you to reach the area you need to enter during surgery, so you no longer need to allow the patient to open a larger chin, which can cause discomfort and chin fatigue.

“This is more comfortable for dentists and patients, and it will also bring a more relaxed atmosphere,” said Gauss. "Dentists can have better clinical results because they are not fighting other issues."

How precision can benefit you

If you spend less time performing certain procedures, you can see more patients throughout the day - to increase practical productivity and your bottom line, Goss pointed out. She said that with the MASTERmatic series, you can complete the repair quickly and accurately. The accuracy provided by the dental handpiece means that there is no need to reprocess the case, which is both costly and time consuming.
