In today’s highly competitive and fast-paced dental office, one of the most important responsibilities of each team member is the “pre-heating” of the patient for the doctor. To be successful at motivating your patients to be open to, and ultimately, agree to your dentist’s treatment plan requires an arsenal of talents that may not come naturally or without thoughtful preparation. And even if you possess excellent communication and leadership skills and a true commitment to educating your patients about the benefits of long-term oral health, are you using these to the full financial benefit of your practice…and yourself?

About the CDA Express Bur Kit The CDA Express Bur Kit (TD 2103) is the first bur kit from KOMET USA designed for dental assistants by a dental assistant (Ms. Calloway) to work on provisional temporaries. A “Christmas Tree” acrylic bur is included so assistants can reach the margins better. A flexible honeycomb/swirl diamond disc helps assistants trim and shape the interproximal areas; and helps assistants accomplish a feathering technique (thinning the acrylic material in specific areas). This technique allows assistants to blend and reduce excess material with excellent visual because of the thinness of the disc. The kit also comes with an acrylic slow-speed football-shaped bur allowing the assistants to adjust the occlusion minimally keeping the natural anatomy. A rubber polisher is provided to smooth out any rough edges and the micro fiber polisher adds a high shine.
