Design and Material Highlights

The four composite instruments cover spatula, beavertail, pear-shaped plugger and fissure-former work, while the brush holder and its soft silicone inserts model and smooth composite increments. Together they cover placement, modelling and surface smoothing in one set.

Designed for Clinical Excellence

The CompoSMOOTH system was conceived by Dr. Gabriel Krastl as a specialist Dental Composite Instrument collection that addresses real clinical challenges. Whether you are working on direct anterior restorations or posterior build-ups, this instrument set provides the control and tactile feedback necessary for high-quality outcomes. The included wash tray keeps the set together during reprocessing.

Clinical Use

The soft silicone inserts in the CompoSMOOTH brush holders are used to model and smooth composite increments in the layering technique, and the 19.199.00 brush holder with fine application brush inserts applies liquid treatment agents to tooth surfaces and cavities.

Care and Reconditioning

Clean, disinfect and sterilize between patients. Our Dental Instrument Reprocessing & Sterilization Guide covers the workflow for Helmut Zepf hand instruments, and our sharpening and reconditioning service reconditions worn instruments when needed.
