Note from Dr. Kim:
"The perio probes and explorers are important not only for checking perio probing and related measurements but additionally to check the height of tooth. By placing the explorer on the buccal surface of the tooth, one can estimate the height of the tooth where the osteotomy must be made.”

Note from Dr. Kim:
"The two periosteal elevators are important for flap elevation without tearing. The four ends have different shapes. The sharp end is the one which lifts tissue at the sulcus without tearing. The different shapes of the remaining tips are to accommodate the tissue type and thickness of the tissue. These curettes are the most important instruments in the kit!! To remove all the granulation tissue embedded into the bone is the hardest job in the surgery! There are many shapes of curette tips; some are sharp and some are thick, dependent upon the area in which you are doing the surgery. Around the roots one needs sharp curved curettes. Removing large granulation tissue requires a large curved curette. The osteotomy site shape varies -some are big and deep, and some are shallow and curved laterally. These various shaped curettes are designed to remove all granulation tissue efficiently!“

Note from Dr. Kim:
"Plugging instruments: After placement of bioceramic materials or other filling materials, the root prepared canals must be gently condensed coronally. The plastic instruments above place the filling material into the root prepared canal. There are two sizes of pluggers -thin and thick – which are used to plug the materials deeply into the canal. The size of the micro-condenser tips used depends upon the size of root end prep. The plastic instrument is designed to press the root end filling material into the root end prep space. The MTA Block is a special system which allows the dentist to pick small piece of MTA or bioceramic material from the plastic block with the plastic instrument and carry to the root end prep canal!“

Note from Dr. Kim:
"There are three sizes of micro-mirrors with flexible shaft: 4 mm, 3 mm and 2 mm width in diamond shapes. Traditional round shaped mirrors have limited usage for anterior large osteotomy cases. In most cases e.g., bicuspid or molar, the osteotomy size varies; some are small so 2 mm or 3 mm is needed. When the osteotomy is large, 4 mm is needed. Since the resected root is elongated buccal and lingual, diamond shaped mirrors with proper width are optimal.“

Note from Dr. Kim:
"These new retractors are specially-designed. The thin serrated blades efficiently hold the tissue atraumatically. The blades are angled left and right 15 degrees. When doing surgery the patients’ chins are NOT straight –they are always tilted to right or left slightly. To compensate for this defect, the newly designed retractors with 15 degree angles will anchor the retractors at the correct level."

New design - with silicone handle,
for a safe use with pleasant ergonomics

The FLAP Holding Pliers are designed to hold the flap during bone augmentation procedures. Use of this instrument allows for holding the entire flap surface.
 
Often a retractor is used to keep the flap apart and, as a second step, when the bone material is placed, pliers are used to reposition the flap while removing the retractor. 

With these FLAP Holding Pliers, it is possible to complete this procedure with only one instrument. This instrument simply makes the entire procedure easier and more problem-free.

W-Tissue Comb is a set of instruments designed for achieving flap tension releasing in a predictable and atraumatic way which makes easier for every clinicians to accomplish this most challenging task.

This is not only important in the soft tissue grafts but also plays key role for success in horizontal and vertical bone augmentation surrounding dental implants.

This surgical device is capable of efficiently and effectively removing the granulation tissue encountered in periodontal surgery,
endodontic surgery and extraction socket.

The current surgical devices currently utilized in the surgical removal of granulation tissue are extremely time consuming. The granulation tissue devices have been designed to effectively remove granulation tissue. The proposed surgical device consists of a loop in the middle with sharp edges that grab and cut the granulation tissue fast and more effi cient.

Note from Dr. Kim:
"These three instruments are critical for suturing. The micro forceps stabilizes the tissue and the micro needle holder holds the suture, while the micro scissors cut sutures microscopically. 

Regular large instruments cannot perform the task since 5.0 or 6.0 suture is really thin !!
