A benefit of using the DISCtanceTM IPR system is reportedly the greater degree of precision possible in the course of reducing interproximal enamel, the company says. The greater accuracy potential is attributable in part to the unique diamond coating on each of the kit’s included stripping discs, the company adds.

The discs come in a versatile assortment of sizes: 0.15 mm, 0.20 mm and 0.30 mm. Using progressively thicker discs on a patient is said to make it far easier to remove the precise amount of enamel, the company explains.

The 0.15 mm discs feature three different coating configurations. Komet USA says its Model RS15FV.HP.200 is coated on its upper side, while RS15FH.HP.200 is coated on its underside; RS15F.HP.200 is coated on both sides.

Komet USA indicates that its 0.20 mm RS20M.HP.200 and 0.30 mm RS30M.HP.200 discs are likewise coated on both sides.
