Consultants' Comments
- "The fine grit (blue shank) really shapes and smoothes the composites well. The extra-fine grit (white shank) polishes to a glossy shine.”
- "Fantastic surface smoothness and gloss.”
- “I liked the shaft stiffness and I loved the color coded shafts - easy to separate the two different grits.”
- “The polishers are so durable that I hate to dispose of them.”
- “Make a smaller point.”
Description
KENDA G.P.S. is a two-step composite polishing system for single-patient use. It is indicated for all composite and compomer restorations as a pre-polisher for smoothing and a final polisher for fine surfaces and a high, long-lasting shine. KENDA G.P.S. consists of silicone rubber and diamond powder with shanks made of medical plastic. They are for use in a latch-type RA handpiece with a water spray. KENDA G.P.S. is supplied in two color-coded grits: fine (blue shank with a light green cup) and ultra fine (white shank with a light beige cup). The kit contains 12 polishers, two of each grit in three shapes (disk, cup and point) as well as packages of 6, 12, 25 and 100, in each shape, plus product literature, instructions and MSDS. KENDA G.P.S. was used 414 times by 15 consultants. This product received a 92% clinical rating.
Suggested Retail Cost $ 29.60/ 12-polisher intro kit
Product Features
Consultants liked the shape selection and fit in the handpiece of KENDA G.P.S. Consultants reported that the length of the mandrel was ideal. The quality of finish and final gloss were good. More than half of the consultants preferred single-step, multi-use polishers, especially for posterior restorations. This two-step system gives composite enhanced gloss, making it more useful in anterior esthetic restorations. Forty-four percent of consultants reported that KENDA G.P.S. was better than their current polishing system, whereas 28% reported this product was equivalent to their current polishing system. Fifty-six percent would switch and 83% would recommend this product.
Clinical Tips
Use slow, firm, steady pressure for best results.
