It’s a instrument that can be used as an alternative to the drill in some procedures. Minute particles almost too small to be seen with the naked eye are carried to the tooth by a stream of air, gently and precisely spraying away decay.
What does it mean to you, the patient?
Thanks to its precision and gentleness, the KCP allows Dr.Chiang to treat decay at an earlier stage without as much removal of healthy tooth material. Teeth treated this way may be less likely to require crowns in the future. Smaller fillings are less susceptible to wear and may last longer. Used in conjunction with dental sealants and the new "flowable" dental composite resins, this system is the most conservative of all techniques.
Dr. Chaing is able to diagnose the current state of dental caries much earlier in the disease process.
The KCP system creates a cavity surface that is so ideal for use with tooth-colored (composite) fillings, we can replace those fillings faster than ever before. In some instances, the KCP actually allows Dr. Chaing to complete your treatment in fewer visits.
