Fact Sheet on the KCP Cavity Preparation System
What is the KCP?
It's a new system that uses a stream of kinetic particles to prepare teeth for restorations. It efficiently prepares cavity sites, removes enamel, dentin and restorative materials as well as preparing surfaces for bonding. It can normally be used without anesthesia.
How does it work?
The KCP (kinetic cavity preparation) system employs kinetic energy, the energy of mass in motion. Minute particles of alpha alumina are propelled by compressed air at a rate of more than 4.3 million particles per second and delivered via a lightweight handpiece. Instead of grinding away tooth structure like the drill, the KCP gently and precisely sprays away decay.
What kinds of procedures can it perform?
The KCP is used for a number of restorative procedures, including:
Preparing cavities for composite restorations
Removing old composite restorations
Partially removing composite restorations and facilitating rebonding at the failure site
Preparing pits and fissures for sealing
Preparing enamel or dentin for bonding (in lieu of etching acid)
What advantages does the KCP offer?
The KCP allows early intervention and conservation of healthy tooth structure.
It reduces the need for anesthesia, resulting in greater patient comfort and acceptance of treatment.
Reduces or eliminates a number of factors contributing to patient discomfort, including pressure, vibration and heat.
Allows Dr. Hollar to treat multiple sites in the mouth during a single visit. This is not possible with conventional instruments requiring anesthesia.
