In today’s fast-paced world where the concept of disposable is becoming acceptable, it’s comforting to know that one company is still committed to manufacturing dental equipment that’s designed to last.

MK-dent, Germany’s premier supplier of dental handpieces, offers a range of highquality, competitively-priced dental equipment to a worldwide customer base. In Australia, MK-dent’s products are available through Ivoclar Vivadent, a company whose values of passion, vision and
innovation align closely with those of the manufacturer.

It’s a strong foundation for a strong partnership and it’s why Ivoclar Vivadent chose to represent MK-dent in the Australian market.

It’s all about choice

Since its establishment in 1995, in Bargteheide in Germany, MK-dent has been committed to understanding the needs of its customers through extensive market research and analysis.

By using high-calibre components and advanced manufacturing technology, the company has developed a superior-quality and functional range that ensures there’s a dental handpiece that’s just right for your practice.

Specialising in high speed and slow speed options, all Mk-dent handpieces feature long life ceramic bearings for calm and vibration-free operation. They have good grip for relaxed and safe work and are easily sterilised in an autoclave.

According to Ivoclar Vivadent, MKdent’s flagship range, the Titanium Line, is used by dentists all over the world. The high speed lines are available to fit the couplings of all major manufacturers including KaVo, W&H, NSK and Sirona, thus making a changeover very easy for the dentist.

MK-dent’s slow speed handpieces are available in straight and contra-angle and are compatible with all standard e-type motors.

See the light

Recently MK-dent has introduced brilliant LED bulbs for all major coupling and motor manufacturers. LED bulbs have several advantages over conventional xenon bulbs.

For one thing, LED lighting produces a beautiful white light while xenon bulbs produce a yellow light which is somewhat dimmer. Secondly, the use of LED lighting may help to reduce eye fatigue.

MK-dent LEDs have a long life span with extreme luminous intensity, and the good news is there’s no need to purchase a new coupling to enjoy the benefits of LED technology; you can order LED bulbs for your existing brand of coupling/handpiece/ motor combination.

Adjustable water couplings are another new innovation. Easy-to-use, they allow you to regulate your water spray directly from the handpiece and are suitable for KaVo handpieces.

Keeping costs down

Apart from innovation, another major advantage that sets MK-dent products apart is affordability. Ivoclar Vivadent understands that the rising costs of repair and maintenance can be overwhelming so they are able to offer great value for money by stocking the best quality product on the market at the best price.

Every product goes through several different function tests before leaving the MK-dent production facility to ensure that it meets MK-dent’s strict quality and durability standards.

All handpieces have a 12-month standard warranty and Ivoclar Vivadent trained technicians are available for after sales service support. Quality spare and replacement parts are also available at a very competitive price nationwide.
