KaVo PROTARevo the top of the line. You sense the quality in every detail. From the simple, asic model PROTARevo 2 up to the top model PROTARevo 9 for splint therapy. Whichever model you actually choose for your laboratory or practice, you will always take the right decision for quality and cost-effectiveness combined with a functional, winning design. Take advantage of the added valve Perfect precision, superior economy Attractive presentation of your prosthetic work on the patient Easy handling Present high quality Alongside perfect precision and first class finishing of the prosthesis, presentation to the patient is becoming more and more important. KaVo has placed this decisive aspect in the centre of the new development. The matt silver surfaces denote a high level of hygiene in the dental surgery and laboratory. This is underlined by the high quality appearance and elegant use of shapes in the design. Transfer stand (0.622.1141) Used for mounting the maxillary cast in the articulator in the laboratory with the aid of the joint piece (0.622.0901) of the ARCUS facebow. The facebow can thus remain in the practice. Mounting plate with split cast (0.622.0791) Mounting plate usable as often as desired and with flank-centred split cast. For all PROTAR articulators with mounted magnet split cast. 10 units in each package. The articulator from KaVo The innovative evolution of articulators is called KaVo PROTARevo, which sets new standards in the market. Our designers have further developed KaVo’s typical, striking use of shapes and optimised functionality to a high level. The result is articulators, which by their nobledesign and colouring hygiene and value, communicate almost by themselves. Be inspired by the extra values of the PROTARevo perfect precision their cost effectiveness convincing presentation of your prosthetic work to the patient superior handling Features No scratching probe: simple, fast and painless examination, an extremely reliable diagnostic aid Early detection of pathological changes, e.g. initial lesions, demineralization and changes in the enamel, fissure caries This permits minimally invasive and tooth-preserving treatment Hit rate 90% Findings assisted by visual and acoustic signals Flexible and mobile unit (battery operated) Analogue statement possible Perio Probe - safe and reliable Perio prophylaxis This principle has been used for years. It is the same principle that allows selective plaque removal with KaVo's KEY laser feedback system. Similar to caries, plaque contains fluorescent substances that DIAGNOdent detects - this technology is only available from KaVo. The Perio probe for the caries detection aid DIAGNOdent allows you to track down plaque more thoroughly than conventional explorers and also allows for gentler cleaning because, now, only one cleaning session needs to be performed at the actual plaque site. This saves you time. Prevention instead of treatment Patients are becoming increasingly health conscious and are taking more trouble to preserve their healthy tooth substance. In other words, the dentist is required to detect the smallest defects. The better and earlier the diagnosis, the better therapy may be planned. If interventions are necessary, then as far as possible only minimally invasive intervention with tooth-coloured fillings are required. De-mineralised tooth substances and bacteria fluoresce when they are exposed to a specific light wavelength 550 - 670 nm, substantial fluorescence occurs between 650 and 800 nm. DIAGNOdent has a wavelength of 655 nm. Equipment Battery-operated, microprocessor-controlled display unit with connectable optical fibre, loudspeaker intensity, max. value (peak), actual value (moment), battery charge state and calibration display and computer interface. Comprising (0.574.0500): Handpiece support Tubing Battery housing incl. 5. 1.5 V batteries Stericassette with calibration standard 1 handpiece for holding the probe 2 probes with conical tip for fissures 1 probe with planar tip for flat tooth area Proximal caries - onfi dent identification Conventional methods of identifi cation are not suffi ciently reliable to detect hidden caries. Adults in particular suffer from proximal and secondary caries, assuming that these are found since visual diagnosis is highly diffi cult. Hidden caries remain hidden in two-thirds of all instances of classic examination methods. Only with the KaVo DIAGNOdent pen can you reliably detect hidden caries in the proximal region. The laser beam of the KaVo DIAGNOdent pen proximal probe makes it possible: A prism defl ects the detector laser beam 100° so that nothing remains hidden around the contact point. Features Stand-alone instrumentCordless, flexibleHighly resistant sapphire tips for taking measurements in the approximal, fissure and periodontal regionStorage space for 4 tipsEasy to useIntegrated screenDisplay of maximum (peak) readingDisplay of current (moment) readingExtra beepsSterilisable sleeve and probes (135°C)Can be used with protective covers, similar to those used with intra oral cameras Procedure This state-of-the-art diagnostic instrument works on the basis of the differing fluorescence between healthy and diseased tooth substance. It reliably detects even the smallest lesions without exposing the patient to radiation. And there’s no probing or scraping - so no damage to healthy tooth substance. A wand containing a light-emitting diode laser and probe, is passed over the carious region. It stimulates modified tooth substance, causing it to fluoresce. The wand then directs this fluorescence back to an analysis photocell, which then displays it visually and emits an audible tone.

Satisfied dentists have reported Early caries detection - improves planned treatment. Long-term patient retention thanks to brief, pain-free (or virtually pain-free) minimally invasive treatments - prevention instead of preparation. Less fear in phobic patients. Impact on treatment spectrum: Significant reduction in amalgam fillings Two to three-fold increase in single surface composite fillings 50 % increase in multi-surface composite fillings Fewer major, time-consuming restorations 20 - 40 % increase in practice revenues More private services - e.g. composite fillings Patients discharged more quickly as a result of less anaesthetic. Waiting times reduced. Caries can be monitored, stabilised and documented thanks to objective, reproducible, quantifiable findings. Perfect findings in every application Three reliable methods that together ensure a perfect caries diagnosis: Your trained expert eye, x-ray imaging and the DIAGNOdent pen.   Caries in its early stages and hidden caries can thus be reliably detected. This enables minimally invasive treatments, the patient is subjected to less stress, and more tooth substance is retained. 45,000 enthusiastic clinicians already own a DIAGNOdent pen. Nearly 10 years of experience with fluorescent laser technology clearly demonstrate that the identification of caries with the DIAGNOdent pen is a valuable adjunct to conventional methods, and also enables the reliable and comfortable identification of calculus during periodontic sessions. DIAGNOdent Display 2191 The DIAGNOdent has been optimised to your needs and expanded with the display. By means of an infrared interface, the DIAGNOdent are shown both on the handpiece and the display. Measurements are quickly and easily visible to you and your patients. Only the DIAGNOdent pen makes it possible It precisely identifi es calculus and visually indicates the fi ndings by a number for the dentist, assistant and patient to see. The perio probe of the DIAGNOdent pen detects calculus more thoroughly than conventional probes. Cleaning becomes less invasive because only those regions are cleaned where plaque actually exists. This saves you time. And it‘s only available from KaVo: Periodontitis prophylactic – accurate, reliable, convenient. With the DIAGNOdent pen and it‘s a special perio probe, you only clean where calculus is actually located. This saves time and decreases patient stress. Scientists and dentists agree „High reliability“ „... with greater than 90% reliability, DIAGNOdent pen technology measures carious lesions that were not detectable with x-rays or a probe. Reservations are overcome by the combined use of an intra-oral camera, x-rays and the DIAGNOdent.“ Mark E. Hyman DDS, Greensboro, NC, USA Test the DIAGNODent/DIAGNOdent pen Would you like to know more about the DIAGNOdent/DIAGNOdent pen? Or have it demonstrated in your practice? Or test it yourself? Then please fill out the form: The robust sapphire probes can detect caries wherever they are, even in the interdental space. Whilst the fissure probe sends out a parallel laser beam as usual, the approximal probe has 100° laser beam deflection, allowing the entire surface of the tooth to be scanned easily. A colour marking makes it easy to set the beam direction and it only takes a few minutes to examine the entire interdental space. „An outstanding instrument“ The DIAGNOdent pen, along with a clinical evaluation and the consideration of the individual caries risk factors, enhance early identifi cation of caries and diagnosis. Based on the favourable reproducibility of its values, the DIAGNOdent pen is an outstanding instrument for detecting the development of lesions in regular examinations. Prof. Dr. Adrian Lussi, Universität Bern Results for all to see The measured results of the DIAGNOdent pen are sometimes difficult to read, and sometimes they do not lie within the patient‘s line of vision. In these instances, the optional remote display can be used. It can be set up wherever you and your patients need to obtain clear visual confi rmation that caries treatment or calculus removal is necessary.  The stand-alone display receives its data remotely from the DIAGNOdent pen and displays them enlarged and distinct.

Video PROTAR System Introduction to the handling of the PROTAR articulator and the ARCUS facebow. German: VHS/PAL (1.000.4154).English: VHS/PAL (1.000.4155) and VHS/NTSC (1.000.4156).Other languages available on request. Calibration references Approx probe Accessories Two tips: The tips may be easily changed for the respective indications. The handpiece is simple to manipulate and lies easily in the hand. The exposure is achieved by means of a laser diode whose light is passed via an optical fibre and a probe to the caries area. Altered tooth substance is excited and fluoresces. The fluorescence is passed via the return line in the optical fibre back to a corresponding evaluation logic unit (photocell) and then displayed and indicated acoustically. Here's how to use KaVo DIAGNOdent Remove stains and plaque (if display values are unclear, clean teeth with KaVo PROPHYflex 3)Dry the toot Clinical examination (scanning of tooth surface)Diagnosis (possible measures):Repeat observation and check Prophylactic measures and checking of success Preparation and check for residual caries Satisfied patients No damage to enamel by sharp-edged probes. Natural teeth are preserved for a longer time and healthy tooth substances are protected in association with minimally invasive instruments (SONICflex Line tips). Less exposure to radiation because no X-ray pictures are taken. Particularly advantageous for children and psychologically anxious patients. Best preventive care. Visual and acoustic representation of measured values make them easily understandable for patients. Reproducible and quantifiable results permit checking, stabilization and documentation of caries development. High degree of patient loyalty thanks to high efficiency. Features Light, hygienic metal surface. Smooth surface with fewer corners and edges for easy cleaning. Lower weight through new production process. Larger scale for inclination of joint path and hence more precise programming. Magnetic fastening of the model even without split cast. Retention adapter The retention adapter can be snapped onto the mounting plate. This permits simple impression of the plaster cast and repositioning. 10 pieces (1.001.0882) 50 pieces (1.001.0953) Orbital plane guide for non-KaVo facebows (0.622.1151) The orbital plane guide for non-KaVo facebows, together with the transfer stand, permits the use of facebows from other manufacturers on the PROTAR system. The upper component indicates the reference plane for the Frankfurt horizontal plane. The lower component serves as a support for the respective facebow. Design The elegant design of the KaVo PROTARevo presents the finished prosthesis at the highest level. The design of the PROTARevo, with a variety of working positions, makes it particularly suitable for the setting up of full dentures. Presentation A presentation of the technical work in the articulator is essential for your success. Whether the discussion regarding the prosthesis takes place between the dental technician and the dentist, or between dentist and patient, the surroundings are always in the field of vision. The clinical appearance of the PROTARevo leaves no doubt about the hygienic surroundings in the surgery or laboratory.

The fit on the tooth stump and the construction of the occlusal surfaces have a large bearing on its life span. Precision of the occlusal surface is dependent on precision articulators in the hands of an experienced dental technician. Precision I Optimum setting of the patient’s data by use of the large dimension adjustment scale. Denar adapter (0.622.1351) The Denar adapter permits the use of the Denar facebow. In this case, the complete joint piece of the Denar facebow is positioned correctly in the PROTAR. For this purpose, the Denar adapter is inserted instead of the incisal pin into the lower part of the articulator. Features Motivate patient prior to instrumentation Check residual plaque to verify successful root cleaning Use for recalls Plaque is detected down into the deepest pockets Reliable, regardless of blood or saliva Painless laser fluorescence detection Audio-digital screen displays visible and acoustic findings 90% hit rate According to a study by PD Dr. Lussi of the University of Bern, the ability to detect diseased or damaged teeth without macroscopically visible fracture of the occlusal surface being present, has to date been well below the hit rates possible with DIAGNOdent. Comparision conventional - DIAGNOdent With conventional instruments, it is generally not possible to probe drop-shaped fissures. DIAGNOdent has the great advantage of fluorescence measurement in fissure regions as the laser light is reflected by very small accesses. Precise results without radiation exposure. Light probe type A Conical tip for fissure regions Sterilizable in an autoclave at up to 135°C Accord In the example shown, the elevated DIAGNOdent value of 60 indicates deep C4 caries in the dentine that cannot be detected on dental film.

This permits simple impression of the plaster cast and repositioning. Research has shown: It's the gold standard for fissures The KaVo DIAGNOdent pen has a much greater success rate than conventional diagnosis methods. No other method – be it visual, probe-based or X-ray based – has proven as precise or reliable in the detection of caries. Even when there appears to be no visible cavity. It has a 90% success rate in detecting caries. The DIAGNOdent laser fluorescence method has therefore been scientifically-recognised as the gold standard in the area of occlusal fissures. Accompanying studies completed by Prof. Lussi, in Bern, have proven that the new DIAGNOdent pen has the same level of sensitivity and precision as the existing KaVo DIAGNOdent device. The patient to whom everything has been explained is more open to a range of services. With KaVo CCC, you can explain to your patient the possibilties and results of the treatment according to his individual situation. Because pictures say more than 1000 words. Battery operated for maximum flexibility It is very difficult to diagnose approximal caries visually. Discolouration can be seen, but the traditional probe is of no use Light probe type B Planar tip for flat buccal and lingual tooth areas Sterilizable in an autoclave at up to 135°C Panadent pointer (0.622.1371) Permits the use of the Panadent facebow. For this purpose, the Panadent pointer is mounted on the infraorbital pointer of the Panadent bow. The Panadent facebow is then oriented with the Panadent pointer relative to the patient's infraorbital point. Precision II Experience precision in the smallest detail.

Possibility for precise setting in 5/100 steps. Secured to prevent falling. The curvature improves visualisation of the incisal edge. Incisal indicator (0.622.1021) Serves as an orientation tool. Its tips indicates the incisal point of the mandible. Bonwill's triangle 110 mm. Confirmable The postoperative bleeding index improves and the pocket depth is noticeably reduced. Results of the clinical study by Prof. Frentzen of Bonn University have proven this. Residual plaque detection More plaque was found with DIAGNOdent than with a traditional periodontal explorer (n = 3174 detection surfaces*). The findings various practitioners made with DIAGNOdent were more consistent. Adjustable incisal table (1.003.7600) The fully adjustable incisal table controls the articulator as an anterior guide element. Before grinding, the anterior tooth guidance and canine guidance is transferred to the adjustable incisal table. Incisal table Plan (0.622.1912), 10° (0.622.1922), 20° (0.622.1932), 30° (0.622.1942), 40° (0.622.1952), 50° (0.622.1962). The fully prefabricated incisal table controls the articulator as an anterior guide element. An incisal table is selected depending on the existing guide angle. The flat incisal table is also for creating individual anterior guides. Bleeding in the periodontal pocket before and 3 months after root cleaning Patients examined with DIAGNOdent had a greater reduction in bleeding index (BOP[s1]) (n = 3174 detection surfaces*). Probing the pocket depth before and 3 months after root cleaning Patients examined with DIAGNOdent showed a greater drop in the number of deep pockets (> 4 mm, n = 3174 detection surfaces*). With set-up calotte, complete (0.622.6214) A mandibular total prosthesis is set up using the setup calotte. All of the reference points are taken from the mandibular model. If a divided wax rim already exists, the calotte is aligned according with reference to the occlusal plane determined in the patient. Including long calotte. Calotte holder (0.622.1161) P. 0.622.6214. Summary A well targeted and thorough cleaning of pockets can be achieved using DIAGNOdent. The audible and visible DIAGNOdent finding makes the process transparent for the patient. This leads to better acceptance. Objective monitoring with DIAGNOdent sheds light on the patient's therapeutic progress. Bite fork support (0.622.0901) P. 0.622.6214. Calotte, short (0.622.1201) Defines the compensation curve in the total prosthetics without anterior teeth and canines. Calotte, long (0.622.1211) Defines the compensation curve in the total prosthetics with anterior teeth and canines. PDR inserts (0.622.1001) Can be used with the PROTAR 7 or 9. Enables 0-6 mm distraction (D), 0-6 mm protrusion (P) and 0-1 mm retrusion (R). Shift angle insert (0.622.1111) Can be used with the PROTAR7.
