Advancements in technology allow dental procedures to become quicker, more successful, and more comfortable. Kinetic Cavity Preparation is a new process for removing decay. Its efficiency and comfort is why Forest Park Dental of St. Louis, MO has chosen to utilize it in our practice.
Kinetic Cavity Preparation, or KCP, removes decayed tooth tissue in a gentler manner and allows faster placement of fillings. KCP works by using a stream of air that carries tiny particles to gently and precisely remove the decayed tooth tissue. The particles used are alpha alumina, a safe substance used in medicine, food, and whitening toothpastes. An evacuation system removes these particles from the mouth after they treat the tooth.
KCP is gentler than drilling. It uses reduced heat and vibration; which means often there is not any anesthetic needed. The drilling sound is also gone, so for our patients who have dental anxiety, the quieter process is noticeable. The sound is similar to that of an aerosol can spraying. KCP also allows fillings to be placed faster than ever. This means quicker appointments and fewer appointments when multiple fillings are needed. This saves our patients time and money.
KCP is also a great tool to use for preparing the tooth for veneers, inlays, onlays, and sealants. We like to use the most advanced tools for the most effective treatments.
