The step by step process helps to standardize the procedure to enable faster and more predictable results. The development of the kit was made possible through research which highlighted the complications associated with the techniques. The internal and external shield exposure is the main complications associated with socket shield and pontic shield. The use for the PET kit has specific drills that enable the simple reduction of the shield without damage to the adjacent mucosa as well as preparation of the chamfer below the bone level in order to create the prosthetic space necessary for ideal soft tissue healing over the shield. The large round diamonds are ideal for both socket shield as well as Root Submergence Technique. The size of the round drills allows fast and easy reduction of the roots to the ideal position reducing treatment time and achieving predictability. Universal Kit The Universal Kit was specifically designed to simplify and improve the clinical outcomes of Geistlich Biomaterials, a world leader in regenerative dentistry, has specialised in regenerative medicine for over 30 years. Geistlich Bio-Oss®and Geistlich Bio-Gide®, the company’s pioneer products, have contributed to the company being the global market leader in regenerative dentistry for many years. Introducing high-end instruments that complement Geistlich’s biomaterials portfolio was a logical next step. Spirited by the same philosophy and fuelled by «passion for perfection», Geistlich partnered with stoma®and became the exclusive distributor for Australia and New Zealand. From their HQ in Liptingen, Germany, stoma®has manufactured dental instruments of the highest quality since 1895. Stoma®can look back on a 100-year history with pride. Walter Storz’ pioneering work, which began in 1919, runs like a golden thread through the epochs and generations. Despite the continuously increasing requirements for medical devices, the company is well positioned for the future. With the untiring pioneer spirit of its founder, the company aspires to carry on the company’s legacy. The first patent-pending trapping device was a tooth forceps. A pioneering entrepreneur, Walter Storz was granted his first patent in 1934, which would lead to a succession of other patents. Tooth forceps fitted with a trapping device solved the problem of many dentists. Due to the special shape, the extracted tooth and root fragments were «trapped» and could not make their way into the patient’s throat cavity. These types of patents were crucial to the young entrepreneur’s success. As a result, Jetter & Scheerer’s own products were being developed, manufactured and sold in addition to those they purchased, and an independent fabrication division was created. In 1956 Stoma began manufacturing autoclaves, which completed the product range with an elemental component. Shortly after, Stoma was able to successfully file its first patent for autoclaves. A small-scale series produced quickly led to success, but it also opened up the door to an understanding that, 45 years later, would trigger a much- broader decision. Stoma®developed a first-class feeling for the market requirements as well as advanced implant procedures. Six techniques in 1 kit 1. Simple, safe & fast maxillary crestal sinus Lift 2. Simplifying Alveolar Bone Expansion 3. Membrane fixing & more effective GBR 4. Fast & efficient connective soft tissue harvesting 5. Easy & fast removal of fractured screws 6. Accurate & flexible grinding for implantoplasty BX-5 BX-5 is a CAD/CAM milling machine specially designed for chairside digital total solution. BX-5 can be a one-stop solution from guide through customized abutment, temporary crown & even final crown. Unlike other CAD/CAM milling machines that are only possible to mill one at a time, up potential product improvements through the contact with dentists, specialists, and users throughout the world. Between 1997 and 1999, strategic innovations and product development culminated in a veritable firework, which has also today contributed to Stoma’s success. The Stoma®color-stick®program was introduced to the market in 1997 and through its color coding, offers a significant benefit to the user. One year later, the market enthusiastically embraced the protective organisation concept stoma p.i.c.®with trays, containers, and accessories. Twelve months later, hygienic grip systems were introduced with the Stoma Hy-Grip®, which was impressive through ergonomics, haptics and surface design.
