Diamant ist nicht gleich Diamant
Langlebigkeit und eine zuverlässige Schleifleistung sind die wohl wichtigsten Qualitätsmerkmale von Diamantinstrumenten. Sie müssen täglich sicher sowie präzise arbeiten und über eine enorme Ausdauer verfügen, um den Anwender optimal bei der Behandlung zu unterstützen. Die Diamantinstrumente von Hager & Meisinger werden diesen hohen Anforderungen aufgrund ihrer soliden Verarbeitung und hochwertigen Materialien gerecht. Die Wertigkeit der Instrumente schlägt sich sowohl in der Art des genutzten Diamantkorns als auch in der Verarbeitung nieder.
Several material properties are important to ensure that the use of rotary diamond instruments "runs smoothly"
: Among other things, the type, density and anchoring
of the diamond grains influence the sharpness and longevity. Diamond instruments from
MEISINGER are set with natural diamonds and therefore have sharper edges and greater impact resistance than
synthetic alternatives. The
ensures a higher cutting performance over a long service life. However, it is not only the
grit type, but also the density of the individual grits that influences how well an instrument removes the
tooth substance. With MEISINGER instruments, 50 to 70 per cent of the
grit surface is enclosed, which prevents the grains from breaking off. This guarantees
extremely homogeneous, safe and long-lasting diamondisation and therefore optimum
work results with high quality and ease of cutting.
It's the processing that counts
In order to work economically, material consumption in a practice should be kept as
low as possible. This applies in particular to tools used on a daily basis, such as
diamond instruments. Even molar preparation or the separation of bridges and
crowns are applications in which the instruments reach the limit of their
life expectancy during their first use. The wear of an instrument is influenced by both the
breaking strength and the embedding of the diamond grains. With a natural
grain, as is the case with diamond instruments from MEISINGER, grain breakage is less
frequent than with synthetic grains of lower quality. The more firmly a grit
is anchored in the underlying embedding layer, the less
wear of the diamond surface occurs. As a result, users benefit from consistent
and long-lasting performance.
Classics and innovations
The MEISINGER product portfolio includes a wide range of diamond instruments in
different shapes, grits and sizes. In addition to all common treatments such as
cavity and crown stump preparation, the product range also includes a number of
special instruments and innovations. For example, the Occlusal Reduction Diamonds allow
precise occlusal reductions to be carried out. Thanks to their angled depth stop
, they enable precisely defined removal and are therefore particularly suitable for the preparation
of ceramic crowns. The conical Occlusal Reduction Diamonds also have
an 8° cone and are therefore ideal for the preparation of veneers, inlays and onlays, while the vertical orientation ensures good access to fissures and
pits. Due to their different depths, they can be adapted to
different restorative materials.
MEISINGER has developed the CF diamond for easier preparation of anterior teeth.
This has a unique diamond coating with two different grit sizes. The
tip of the instrument has a fine grit, while the conical area of the working part has
a coarse diamond grit. A perfect
preparation margin can be defined with the finely coated tip, while the conical part of the instrument ensures
targeted material removal to the incisal edge of the tooth without having to change the instrument.

Kontrollierte und sichere Wurzelkanalbehandlung
Endodontische Behandlungen erfordern spezielle Instrumente, die einen sicheren und kontrollierten Zugang zum Wurzelkanal garantieren. Mit zwei auf den Praxisalltag abgestimmten Endodontie-Sets sowie einer Auswahl an einzelnen Spezialinstrumenten bietet Hager & Meisinger für alle gängigen Wurzelkanal- Behandlungen das passende Instrumentarium.
The Endo Access Bur Kit contains a compilation of all MEISINGER Endo Access Burs.
The root canal burs included in the kit allow the user to easily and safely
open and widen the root canal opening for ideal, straight-line access to the
root canal. Unlike standard drills, the specialised instruments provide an excellent view of the working field thanks to their
particularly long and narrow necks. Despite their
filigree design, the Endo Access burs have a solid material thickness and
running accuracy combined with very high cutting performance. In addition, thanks to
their special design, no heat spots form during use and there is less
dust generation than when using ultrasonic tips, for example. Depth markings on the neck and an easily
understandable colour code, which makes it easy to identify the right size, are also particularly
user-friendly.
The Comprehensive Access Kit offers a selection of carefully selected diamond and
carbide burs, which are necessary for a safe and predictable root canal opening. This kit provides the
practitioner with all the necessary instruments to create straight
access to the root canal through various materials such as zirconium oxide, metal-ceramic and
enamel.
The wide range of products from MEISINGER also offers a selection of other
special instruments for endodontics. The portfolio includes Hedstroem files with
long handles, stainless Gates root canal expanders as well as Peeso and Beutelrock drills. In the
range of diamond instruments, the 802KG diamond bur, for example, enables particularly gentle treatment in the cervical area thanks to
its non-diamond tip.
The round diamond 801L also has an extra-long neck and therefore offers optimum
support during endodontic treatments.

Membranen und Pins für die kontrollierte Knochenaugmentation
Membranen gehören heutzutage zum Standardrepertoire bei der Knochenaugmentation. Sie erfüllen dabei eine wichtige Barrierefunktion und schaffen die notwendige Ruhe und den Raum für die körpereigene Knochenregeneration. Für einen sicheren und formstabilen Verschluss des Defekts ist zudem eine zuverlässige Fixation der Membran ein essenzieller Faktor. Hager & Meisinger bietet für die Behandlung von knöchernen Defekten eine große Auswahl an CytoplastTM und Vitala®- Membranen aus Kollagen und PTFE, die ein breites Spektrum verschiedener Behandlungsmethoden abdecken. Eine passende Ergänzung bilden zudem die mit Dr. Istvan Urban entwickelten sehr stabilen Pins, mit denen Membranen sicher am Knochen fixiert werden können. Die Kombination aus Pin und Membran unterstützt den Behandler beispielsweise bei der von Dr. Istvan Urban entwickelten und angewendeten „Sausage Technique“ für die horizontale Augmentation.
The pin design from the Master Pin Control System was developed in collaboration with Dr Istvan
Urban with the aim of securely fixing membranes to the cortical bone. A particular
challenge for the pin is that it must be able to withstand high loads and
not bend or break, especially when inserted into the cortical bone. The titanium
pins are characterised by their stable connection of head and shaft as well as a very sharp
tip. This means that the practitioner does not have to worry about the pin bending
or breaking during fixation and can position it precisely on the bone. The pins can therefore be inserted securely into the bone even at
steep insertion angles. Another unique feature is the
circumferential groove on the pin shaft. This increases the surface area and ensures a secure hold and
stability. Thanks to a special head design, the pin can also be safely removed after healing with a
screwdriver without damaging the tissue.
The pins are available in sets of 10, 50 or 100. The complete Master-Pin Control System
includes additional instruments that support the practitioner in successfully placing the
pins and fixing the membrane. A screwdriver
and pin holder designed to match the pins also facilitate removal from the set and release of the pins after the
healing phase.
Targeted bone augmentation with collagen and PTFE membranes
The Vitala® and CytoplastTM membranes have unique material properties that meet
the individual requirements of the chosen treatment method. If resorbable membranes are required for
therapy, MEISINGER offers the right solution with Vitala®-Collagen
and CytoplastTM RTM. With the Vitala® membranes made of bovine material
, the practitioner benefits from a particularly supple and thin, but tear-resistant 3
layered structure. When the membrane is hydrated, its shape changes and becomes flexible. In this way,
it adapts optimally to the defect. Meanwhile, CytoplastTM RTM membranes offer the perfect
combination of flexibility and stability. The material made from bovine Achilles tendon adapts to
different shapes without collapsing into the defect. The collagen membranes are
ideal for use in the sausage technique, among other things.
The CytoplastTM TXT membranes made of high-density PTFE with a pore size of less than
0.3 μm can be used for socket preservation, horizontal and vertical augmentations and
large bony defects. The membrane is completely impermeable to
bacteria, making it suitable for exposed use. Primary
wound closure is therefore not absolutely
necessary for socket preservation, for example. The special surface with hexagonal indentations also ensures
better cell adhesion and particularly high stability. This maximises
the predictability of the results. The special surface structure also
prevents soft tissue from growing into the membrane, so that
removal of the non-absorbable membrane can be minimally invasive.
The PTFE membranes are also available in a titanium-reinforced version. These
are characterised by particularly high dimensional stability and can be used for a wide range of different defects thanks to the large selection
of different shapes.
Cytoplast™ Reinforced PTFE Meshes are also a speciality. Thanks to their
circular macroporous surface design, the meshes enable direct contact
between the bone graft and the periosteum. This promotes natural
revascularisation and infiltration of the cells for successful bone regeneration.

OKTAGON ROX-CERA: Innovative keramische Oberfläche
In der Implantologie erfreut sich Keramik aufgrund ihrer guten Verträglichkeit immer größerer Beliebtheit. Titan bietet dem Behandler dahingegen durch seine erhöhte Bruchfestigkeit ein einfacheres Handling. Die ROX-CERA- Implantate aus der OKTAGON-Produktlinie verbinden die Vorteile beider Materialeigenschaften. Mit einem sehr festen Titankern ausgestattet, weisen die Implantate viele Vorteile von reinen Titanimplantaten auf. Durch eine Keramikbeschichtung sind sie zudem hochverträglich und ermöglichen eine Osseointegration sowohl während der transgingivalen als auch subgingivalen Einheilung. Dank ihres verringerten Durchmessers können die Implantate zudem auch bei einem reduzierten Knochenangebot eingesetzt werden.
The most important prerequisite for an optimal implant restoration is successful
osseointegration. In addition to individual bone properties, the selected
implant surface also has a significant influence on how well an implant heals into the bone. For
increased patient satisfaction, healing of the implant should also take place as quickly
and painlessly as possible.
ROX-CERA implants combine the properties of ceramic with the high
fracture resistance of titanium. The implants developed by DENTAL RATIO are made of
titanium at the core and have a biologically highly compatible ceramic corrosion protection layer
made of titanium zirconium oxide. This has a higher biocompatibility index compared to titanium
and is specially adapted to the different biological and mechanical requirements of the
endosteal and transgingival areas. The oxides of zirconium are also
much more thermodynamically and biochemically stable than those of titanium and therefore avoid
fretting corrosion, which supports long-term stable osseointegration. The titanium core is made of
titanium grade 5 ELI and is therefore 30% stronger than titanium grade 4. Another special feature of the ROX-
CERA implants is the light gold transgingival part of the implant. This is
coated with a very smooth and hard titanium niobium oxynitride ceramic surface.
DENTAL RATIO bases the development of its products on proven, patent-free
systems and develops them further. The design of the implants comes extremely close to the originals in terms of
success rates and, not least, the product guarantee. ROX-
CERA implants can also be used with
reduced diameter due to their special fracture and fatigue strength. They are therefore very well suited as bridge abutments or for
restorations in the aesthetic zone and are particularly suitable for patients with a
horizontally limited bone supply. Thanks to its special design, the
implant system can therefore be used in patients who wish to avoid an invasive procedure as part of
bone augmentation. The implant is also well tolerated by patients who have developed titanium sensitivity in later
years.
The ROX-CERA implants are available as Tissue Level and Bone Level with Ø 3.3 / Ø 4.1 mm in the
lengths 8, 10 and 12 mm.

Minimalinvasive Implantat-Versorgung
Für eine optimale Implantatversorgung ist eine minimalinvasive Vorbereitung des Implantatlagers unumgänglich. Das beginnt schon bei der atraumatischen Extraktion von konventionell nicht erhaltungswürdigen Zähnen. Weist der betreffende Knochenbereich zudem horizontale Defizite auf, kann dieser aufgedehnt und spongiöser Knochen verdichtet werden. Für eine schonende Vorgehensweise vor der Implantatinsertion bietet die Bone Management®-Produktlinie von MEISINGER die passenden chirurgischen Systeme: Benex®-Control für die minimalinvasive Zahnwurzelextraktion sowie Split-Control für das kontrollierte Bone Spreading und Condensing.
Precise tooth root extraction
Tooth extraction is one of the most common dental surgical procedures for which
forceps and levers are usually used. Benex®-Control, developed in collaboration with Dr
Benno Syfrig, offers a minimally invasive alternative. Thanks to
its ingenious design, tooth roots and tooth root fragments can be removed using
the principle of a pulley block without damaging the bone or the surrounding
soft tissue. The reason for this is that (in contrast to the use of forceps and
levers) no stress is exerted on the lateral bone walls. The atraumatic vertical
extraction method therefore offers very good conditions for subsequent
implant placement. For optimum vertical force transmission, the Benex®-
Control also includes a quadrant support. This ensures that the extractor lies flat
and the tooth root can be removed straight. It also protects the existing
residual dentition and provides a stable support for
the extractor, particularly in edentulous situations.
Controlled bone spreading and condensing
Split-Control is a proven system for gentle widening of the alveolar ridge in
horizontal bone deficits. In order to optimally prepare the bone for implant placement
, the practitioner has several systems with a range of different
screw-shaped spreaders at their disposal. The spreaders can be used to control and gently expand horizontally resorbed
bone (bone spreading). Due to their
special geometry, cancellous bone is also compacted (bone condensing), which
increases the primary stability of the inserted implants. The smallest spreader
has a diameter of 2.7 millimetres to ensure a systematic procedure even in extremely narrow
jaw areas. The systems also include spreaders with
diameters of 2.9 mm, 3.1 mm, 3.3 mm, 3.5 mm, 4.0 mm and 5.0 mm.
The Bone Management® portfolio offers practitioners a choice of different versions of the
split control system. The included spreaders each have a
working part length of twelve (Split-Control 12 mm) or 15 mm (Split-Control 15 mm). The
"Professional" version also includes additional spreaders with a length of 10 and 11 mm. The
"Split-Control Plus" also includes an even more comprehensive set of instruments consisting of
helical spreaders and horizontal spreaders, which allow controlled and
uniform spreading of horizontally resorbed bone. Split-Control, like
all Meisinger Bone Management® systems, can be combined with all
implant systems on the market and has been specially developed to optimise the preparation of the bone bed
.
