KaVo Kerr Group at IDS 2015 —
drumming to the beat of innovation
by Sierra Rendon & Claudia Duschek, DTI
n At this year’s International Dental Show
(IDS), which took place from 10 to 14 March
in Cologne, attendees had the opportunity
to explore innovative technologies and
products brought together on a global platform by the KaVo Kerr Group. The company
presented more than 35 new products at
IDS, including offerings in digital imaging,
CAD/CAM, operatory units, handpieces
and a wide range of consumables that aim
to render dental professionals’ work faster,
easier, more accurate and more lexible.
“Innovation
means raising
standards of
care.”
Formed in February 2014, KaVo Kerr
Group—composed of 14 brands and companies—has more than 500 years of combined experience and reaches 99 per cent
of dental practices around the world. The
portfolio of brands includes KaVo, Kerr
Restoratives, Kerr Prevention, Kerr Endodontics, Kerr Rotary, Pentron, Orascoptic,
Pelton & Crane, Marus, DCI Equipment,
Gendex, DEXIS, Instrumentarium Dental,
SOREDEX, i-CAT, NOMAD, Implant Direct,
and Ormco. The portfolio of brands is
interconnected by common values of trust,
experience, choice, quality and smart innovation.
“It is exciting to interact with so many
of our international customers at IDS,” said
Matt Garrett, KaVo Kerr Group’s Global
Vice President of Marketing, Dental Technologies. “This is our irst opportunity to
share our identity with a global audience,
5

audience. (Photo/ Markus Mahle)
and our booth is designed to engage their
senses as we as the clinician’s intellect.”
KaVo Kerr Group booth the spot for
technological advances
Through extensive live surgery demonstrations and hands-on sessions, IDS visitors were educated and informed about the
beneits of using these both new and triedand-true products individually as well as
part of a broader worklow solution.
For example, Isabel Baur, International
Product Manager CAD/CAM at KaVo Kerr
Group, demonstrated the functions of the
Lythos intraoral scanner to hundreds of
attendees. “This scanner takes 1.2 million
images per second,” she explained. “It’s
very easy for anyone to learn how to do. The
learning curve is very quick.”
The Lythos scanner allows clinicians to
capture highly detailed images in seconds
without powder; in addition, they can
easily rescan at any point, review data at
any time and use the touchscreen to rotate
the model in an ininite number of ways.
Once the data has been scanned, clini-
cians can proceed to complete the design
in-ofice or wirelessly upload complex
design cases via the cloud to KaVo’s Remote
Design Service.
KaVo has been an industry leader when
it comes to CAD/CAM, having irst joined
the market about ten years ago. With the
KaVo Everest engine, the company was
the irst in the market to be able to mill
zirconia.

Show Review IDS Cologne 2015
What is KaVo Kerr Group?
An interview with Stanzi Prell, Commercial President of Europe, the Middle East and Africa at KaVo Dental,
on what that brand represents to the dentist and to the global marketplace.
On 10 March, KaVo Kerr Group hosted an
event at the International Dental Show
in Cologne to formally introduce KaVo
Kerr Group to an international audience.
Beyond the celebratory nature of the
night, what key messages did you hope to
convey to those in attendance?
KaVo Kerr Group represents outstanding brands that 99 per cent of dental
practices use and trust every day. As the
global leader in innovation, we are committed to enhancing clinical outcomes
and improving worklows that simplify
and improve the lives of both clinicians
and patients. The night is not just about
announcing 35-plus new products, but
about connecting those products to results
that meaningfully impact the lives of the
people we serve.
It is comprised of brands that are instantly
recognisable, but what does KaVo Kerr
Group stand for?
KaVo Kerr Group is a platform that
unites 14-plus brands that represent more
than 500 years of combined experience.
We compete in a breadth of categories —
including hygiene, restorative, traditional
equipment, imaging, implants, specialty
and special markets. Most of our customers
don’t realise that the brands they use and
trust every day are actually produced
by the same global dental company. By
bringing all our brands together, we can
leverage our portfolio of resources—particularly research and development—to
achieve our goals of simpliied dentistry
and enhanced clinical outcomes.
What can you tell us about the timing of
KaVo Kerr Group’s formation? What made
this past year the right time to bring the
brands together in this more formal way?
KaVo Kerr Group truly originated back
in 2004, when our parent company, Danaher, acquired KaVo and Gendex, followed
shortly by DEXIS, Pelton & Crane, and
Sybron, which brought in Kerr and Ormco.
Of course, many followed as time went on,
including DUX Dental just last summer.
We were fortunate to have been able to
assemble such an outstanding portfolio of
brands over the past ten years. The formal
name KaVo Kerr Group was articulated just
last year and will deine our global dental
business and portfolio of brands.

and lives. We believe that creating a more
eficient worklow is a crucial irst step
in making dentistry more accessible to
people in need of care.
What makes innovation smart–or, more
specifically, how is the KaVo Kerr Group
approach to product development generating higher quality launches?
There are really two main components
that shape our deinition of “smart innovation.” Both are based on values articulated
within the wider Danaher culture. First is
“We are committed to enhancing
clinical outcomes and improving
workflows.”
What do you see as the connective tissue
between the products united on this
platform?
We share ive core values: trust, experience, choices, quality, smart innovation.
More importantly, all our brands are passionately focused on helping dental professionals conidently optimise their work
the principle that, “Customers talk, we
listen.” Our innovation is smarter because
it is customer-centric, driving creative
solutions to directly address customer
needs. Second is the idea that, “Continuous
improvement is our way of life.” Being
No. 1 in market share is good, but we set a
high bar for ourselves to constantly strive
to do better, no matter where we rank.
“ Customers talk, we listen.”
Nobel Biocare is the most recent addition
to the Danaher dental platform. How does
it relate to KaVo Kerr Group?
Nobel Biocare and KaVo Kerr Group sit
side by side within the Danaher Dental
Platform, and we are very excited to be
working with the truly impressive Nobel
Biocare team. Together, Nobel Biocare and
KaVo Kerr Group are cornerstones of the
Danaher dental platform. As you know, we
have an outstanding set of brands including Nobel Biocare, KaVo, Kerr, Ormco,
i-CAT, Instrumentarium, DEXIS, Gendex
and many more with which we serve most
dental professionals around the world.
Each one of these brands has selected the
most appropriate route to market for their
speciic clinical end users. Our operating
companies are part of one dental platform
but operate as their own units. Teams
across the Danaher dental platform will
partner to identify ways to work together in
creating value for the dental professional.
In an ideal picture, how do you want
dentists to see or interact with the KaVo
Kerr Group brand? What should it mean
to them?
Clinicians are passionate about their
patients, and we want them to see KaVo
Kerr Group as a halo, identifying the
brands and products that can help them
yield better clinical outcomes. We also
know that improved worklows means
more eficient practices that allow our
customers to either see more patients or
see the same patients in less time. We want
the members of KaVo Kerr Group to share
an instant credibility for the integrity of the
products and relationships we represent in
the dental industry.

It was also the irst to offer a 5-axis
simultaneous milling machine, allowing
for demanding geometries and undercuts.
The irst generation of Everest, could
fabricate up to two discs at once and, since
the 2013 launch of Everest CAM2 upgrade,
up to eight single-unit glass ceramics
and composite blocks simultaneously. Following the launch of Everest, KaVo developed the ARCTICA system in 2012. This
system also offers 5-axis simultaneous
milling but in smaller dimensions, targeting practice laboratories and dentists interested in providing in-ofice, or chairside,
restorations.
Dr Fabio Soggia from Turin in Italy commented: “Comparing the quality and reproducibility of milled restorations with other
systems, the ARCTICA is ten times better.”
Celebrating the art of innovation
Approximately 750 people from 40
countries worldwide attended KaVo Kerr
Group’s Art of Innovation event as part of
IDS. The group invited dental professionals, dealer partners, industry leaders,
and global media representatives to the
Flora Köln, a historical formal park and
botanical garden adjacent to the Cologne
Zoological Garden to celebrate the formation of the group and to see many of its new
products up close.

The evening’s moderator, Tamara Sedmak, charmed the crowd as she led it
through the event’s many highlights.
Sedmak is a former model, actress, singer, renowned journalist and TV host in
Switzerland and Germany. For more than
15 years, she has been a host and commentator for a variety of media channels, and
her luency in seven languages made her
the perfect presenter for this multilingual
crowd.
Henk van Duijnhoven, Senior VicePresident of KaVo Kerr Group, explained
what the term “innovation” stands for at
KaVo: “For us, innovation means raising
standards of care. In order to achieve that,
we have to understand what happens in
the smallest unit of dental care—the dental
practice. Therefore, we are committed to
listening to the voice of the customer.”
He further stated that it is the goal of
the group to improve treatment eficiency
with the many brands of the group. While
not part of the KaVo Kerr Group, Swiss
dental manufacturer Nobel Biocare did join
the Danaher dental platform in autumn
last year, making it a strategic partner in
delivering smarter, more clinically sound
worklow solutions available to a wider
group of dental professionals.
Moreover, Stanzi Prell, Commercial
President of Europe, the Middle East and
Africa at KaVo Dental, said that new digital
solutions are another priority for the group,
as they beneit treatment planning and
bring about more predictable results.
A selection of new products on display
at the company’s booth at IDS were showcased at the event. Clinicians swarmed in
the exhibition room to see the latest from
KaVo Kerr Group’s brands up close and
engage with product managers.

“I can recommend the OP300
Maxio in good conscience”
An interview with dentist and implantologist Dr Frank Liebaug
With the ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH
OP300 Maxio, a device that offers numerous advantages to both specialists and
general dental practitioners, the KaVo Kerr
Group presented an innovation in the ield
of 3-D imaging at this year’s International
Dental Show. Dr Frank Liebaug’s practice
for laser and implant dentistry was the
irst German practice to be able to test the
5
wide range of treatments, from single-tooth
implants to major oral and maxillofacial
surgery and the planning of orthognathic
surgery.
The wide range of examination areas in
comparison to competitors, and, at the same
time, the option of very high resolution,
namely about 85 µm, were two particularly
somewhat lowers the exposure factors in
the facial skull so that the soft parts, such
as nose, cartilage, skin and subcutaneous
components can be well represented at a
further reduced radiation dose.
Finally, I would like to talk about the
metal artefact reduction function (MAR).
This technology reduces the inluence of

X-ray system in everyday clinical use. In
this interview, the dentist talks about his
experience with the new system.
Dr Liebaug, how many patients do you
treat per week and what treatments do
you primarily perform?
In principle, our practice covers the
entire spectrum, from conservative to surgical treatment, including examination,
medical history and assessment as well
as periodontal, endodontic and prosthetic treatments and implant-based or oral
surgical procedures. On some selected
days, we also perform surgical procedures
under anaesthesia with the assistance of
an anaesthetist. Depending on treatment
complexity, between 150 and 200 patients
are treated here per week by three treating
physicians.
What is important to you in an imaging
system in the context of these daily
practice activities, and what have you
paid special attention to when comparing
different product options?
Before selecting a system, I looked at
various manufacturers and device types,
and also had the opportunity to see devices
from different manufacturers in action
at the Shandong University in China and
three Chinese private clinics through my
international activities and to evaluate
their results.
The wide range of treatments offered
at our practice requires a universal device
that combines the relevant factors for
implantology and endodontics. It’s not
exactly easy to ind this type of device
on the market. There are device manufacturers that only offer very low volume
sizes, but at a very high resolution. With
the new OP300 Maxio, I have found a
device that offers four different areas of
examination as standard, with even an
additional volume size as an optional extra.
The different volume sizes from 5 × 5 cm to
13 × 15 cm are suitable for an extremely
important criteria for me when selecting an
X-ray and 3-D imaging system.
Were there any other aspects and properties that affected your decision to opt for
the OP300 Maxio?
Another aspect that is important to me
is the Low Dose Technology, which, despite
very low radiation exposure, allows for
easily evaluable presentations that are
made possible thanks to features such as
the automatic beam adjustment known as
Automatic Dose Control (ADC). The ADC
function takes into account the patient’s
scattered radiation that occurs in very
dense structures in the X-ray volume. This
improves the representation of teeth with
illed root canals and endodontic posts in
particular, and allows for better assessment of the immediate area around metallic implants. This is another function that I
don’t want to miss in the future.
With your practice focus on implantology,
how has the OP300 Maxio become part of
that workflow? What are the differences
in terms of treatment planning or other
aspects of care?
“OP300 Maxio makes implantology
less risky and easier in its clinical
implementation.”
anatomy, which in turn leads to an improvement in image quality and image information despite the low radiation dose.
Another special feature is the Automatic
Spine Control (ASC) function. With panoramic tomographic imaging, the image
information in the frontal region is usually
not as good as in the lateral areas due to
the superposition of the spine. Through the
application of ASC, the automatic dosage
is readjusted so that an optimal image
quality is achieved especially for this area,
eliminating the need for additional recordings. This reduces the patient’s radiation
exposure.
The Automatic Facial Contour function
(AFC) is also relevant for orthodontics or
orthognathic operations in which images of
the facial contour are required. When performing the X-ray, this automatic function
The OP300 Maxio allows for comprehensive pre-implantation diagnosis, which provides increased safety both for me as a physician and also for the patient. We can use
the device to successfully represent and
measure the bone supply, vulnerable anatomical structures and nerve exit points in
advance. This then allows us, for example,
to draw conclusions about the nerve paths
and leads to a signiicant reduction in the
risk of injury during the operation. As a
treating physician, I can use the diagnostic
spectrum of the OP300 Maxio to work out

what to expect in advance, and will not be
met with any unwanted surprises during
surgery.
The total time of treatment, including
diagnostics, measurement and evaluation
time may not be reduced directly, but the
operation time is probably reduced thanks
to the improved options for pre-orientation
and planning of access routes. The OP300
Maxio also provides the option of connecting the supplied evaluation software to
a program for the production of drilling
templates, which once again increases the
patient’s safety. When used correctly, the
OP300 Maxio makes implantology less
risky and easier in its clinical implementation.
How do your patients react to the OP300
Maxio?
The patients have consistently demonstrated a positive response. On the one hand,
they noticed that an innovative new device
has been introduced into the practice, which
provides us as a treatment team with a high
information content. On the other hand,
communication with patients has also generally improved, both in terms of the preoperative explanation and the provision of
information during continued treatment.
The patient can visualise the treatment
much better using the 3-D representation
rather than a 2-D image. This enables me, as
a dentist, to better explain the risks to the
patient on the one hand, and the reasons for
choosing the respective surgical procedure
or treatment on the other hand.
How would you advise colleagues who
are thinking about purchasing an imaging
system like the OP300 Maxio?
He or she should irst consider the range
of treatments available in his or her practice
or clinic and the direction he or she would
like to develop in the future. Building on
that, he or she should compare the devices
that are currently on the market that offer
the best possible choice of volume sizes
and highest possible resolution for his or
her indication, and that have low radiation exposure despite very good pictorial
representation—a factor that will become
increasingly important for patients in the
future when selecting their practice.
When selecting new technologies, one
should always be aware that the quality
of an X-ray or a three-dimensional volume
representation and the diagnostics that
are made based on this representation
can be crucial for the success or failure
in a patient’s treatment. In this regard, I
can recommend the OP300 Maxio in good
conscience.

type of device on the market.”

How to achieve simplicity and predictability in
using bulk fill composites
How the SonicFill 2 system facilitates optimal results in posterior restorations.
by Mattia Marelli, Product Manager, KerrHawe SA
While not a new concept, the popularity
of bulk ill composite materials has grown
rapidly in recent years. And, it is easy to
understand why: these products relect
an unmet need to simplify one of the most
tedious and exacting dental procedures—
posterior resin composite restorations.
KaVo and Kerr addressed this need
by leveraging their respective areas of
expertise to deliver SonicFill, a posterior
composite system that improves adaptation, provides better sculptability, lowers
shrinkage stress, improves curing characteristics, and has the strength, durability
and aesthetics one would normally expect
from a posterior composite.
SonicFill is the only bulk ill composite
able to combine all the placement advantages of a lowable with the strength of a
highly illed resin composite, in a single
material. Kerr’s SonicFill composite incorporates special modiiers that react to sonic
energy delivered by the KaVo handpiece.
These modiiers dramatically lower the
viscosity of the composite during placement, providing superior adaptation to the
cavity walls and reducing the voids, gaps
and seams typically found between composite layers. The composite then returns to
a non-slumping, sculptable state, making
contouring anatomy fast and eficient.
Along with a 5 mm depth of cure and less
shrinkage stress than a layered composite,
SonicFill allows dentists to reliably place
most posterior restorations in just one step.
Kerr, a Danaher company, and part of
the KaVo Kerr Group, is one of the world’s
leaders in dental and endodontic equipment and instrumentation. “Customers
talk, we listen,” is the driving force behind
all new product introductions, and the
reason the KaVo Kerr Group maintains
this market leadership position today.
SonicFill is KaVo Kerr Group’s response to
the clearly articulated customer need for
a reliable and easy placement technique
for posterior restorations without clinical
compromise.
Customers have enthusiastically
embraced the SonicFill system, inding
that it makes appointments less stressful
and outcomes more predictable—beneitting both the doctor and the patient.
KaVo Kerr Group is committed to supporting and expanding its exclusive innovation all around the globe, and is happy
to announce SonicFill 2, to be introduced
in the irst half of 2015. SonicFill 2 offers
improved aesthetics and even easier use,
making a product so many clinicians have
come to love even better. More importantly,
it retains all of the important characteristics that make it safe and effective as a
single-step posterior composite system.
If you have not had a chance to view
SonicFill, make sure you take the time to
try it. You will see why so many doctors
claim they would not want to practice
First in quality brings

without it, and why it is responsible for so
much of the growth in popularity of the
bulk ill composite category around the
world.
Mastermatic M25 L
Highlighting the latest from KaVo instruments: MASTERmatic and MASTERtorque Mini
In this interview with Andreas Thanner
and Thomas Birk, Senior Product Managers at KaVo, get into some of the details
behind the MASTERmatic release and
its importance to the overall handpiece
category.
KaVo introduced the MASTERmatic series
at the 2015 International Dental Show.
Why is this a meaningful launch for KaVo?
With the launch of the new MASTERmatic series, KaVo will cement its role
as the leading innovator in the premium
segment. The MASTERmatic series has a
new design and new productfeatures and
will—after 12 years—replace the premium
GENTLEpower series.
What is the most significant improvement
to the MASTERmatic series?
Without a doubt, the head size reduction of the speed-increasing instrument
MASTERmatic M25 L is our most important achievement. After hundreds of interviews with dentists all over the world,
head size was the most mentioned product
feature.
We were able to reduce the head volume,
which means head height and head shape,
by 20 per cent, and with the combination of
the KaVo exclusive 100-degree head angle
and the triple gear system, we’ve improved
tremendously the access and view of the
treatment ield. In addition, we added the
speed-increasing instrument MASTERmatic M05 L Mini to the series with an even
43 per cent smaller head by volume. This
is specially designed for short shaft burs,
so if the dentist is facing a situation where
not enough space is available such as for
treating paediatric or elderly patients this
is the instrument to use.
What are the other new features?
MASTERmatic instruments belong to
the Master series, which makes them
the pinnacle of innovation. One valuable
new feature is the changeable water ilter, which gives the dentist the ability to
change the clocked water ilter easily by
him or herself. Therefore, the instrument
doesn’t need to be sent in for repair and the
dentist has zero instrument downtime. It is
also the only speed-increasing instrument
in the market with a triple gear system,
delivering a smooth and vibration-free
performance. Some users will notice that
we adapted the MASTERmatic design to
the well-received MASTERtorque turbine,
introduced at the last IDS.
What else makes KaVo the leading innovator for dental handpieces?
Over the years, KaVo has registered over 2,200 patents. Our ideas come
directly from listening closely to customer
needs. For example, the carbide bur guide
for speed increasing instruments guides
the dental burs and guarantees the best
concentricity and durability, especially
during crown or bridge cutting. The bur
guide got assembled in over 1 million
instruments, so this proves that our customers appreciate such unique features.
Maintenance requirements for dental
handpieces are getting stricter. How does
this affect KaVo instruments?
We are very well prepared. For years,
KaVo has upheld a very high internal standard. Internal tests are up to four times
longer than required. The well-known
KaVo Plasmatec coating guarantees excellent hygiene and a perfect grip, even after
years of use.
What is the Direct Stop Technology (DST)?
The DST is an active brake system that
stops the bur within one second. This is a
major safety feature to secure that there is
no rotating bur, when the dentist removes
the turbine from the mouth or when they
want to change the bur very fast.
Another big advantage is that when the
patient makes a fast movement, the risk of
contacting the cheek with the rotating bur
is signiicantly reduced. With this safety
feature there is no need to avoid working
with a turbine and the dentist can get the
full advantages of a light turbine and the
special haptic advantages.
A further technical point is that the
DST stops the suck back of aerosols into
the turbine.
