About Komet
Komet was founded in 1923 in Dusseldorf, Germany by the Brasseler brothers. With their expert knowledge in dentistry and ingenuity, their small business grew into what is now one of the largest and most respected manufacturers of rotary instruments in the dental industry. Today, Komet continues to be a family-run company, represented in more than 100 countries, and expanded into Australia in 1953 – 71 years in the market. Quality products made by Komet are synonymous with innovation, precision, and reliability – all over the world.
History of Komet
The first Australian distribution partnership was formed in 1953 by Martin Halas, located in Sydney, NSW. Halas Dental and Henry Schein Regional came together in 2006 to form Australia’s largest dental distributor, stocking the widest range of products on the market.
Innovation has always been, and will always be, at the core of what Komet do. That’s why Komet partners with Henry Schein to bring you the best products, service, and advice.
Komet’s offerings have significantly evolved and expanded over the last century. We provide the dental sector with a wide range of exceptional products, services and innovation that help preserve or restore oral health.
The complete Komet range consists of standard instruments like traditional round burs, crown cutters, composite removers, polishers, endodontic files, Q-Finishers, finishing carbides and more. Our latest innovation, one-of-a kind instrument - DIAO. A new diamond generation. The combination of ceramic pearls between the diamond grains ensures unparalleled cutting.
All rotary instruments are designed by engineers and dentists, backed by research and development, undergo rigorous testing, and are produced at the Komet HQ in Lemgo, Germany.
Launch of tungsten carbide instruments. This material enables the production of instruments with sharper and more precise cutting edges.
Producing the first range of diamond instruments, which quickly became the gold standard.
Inclusion of ceramic abrasives.
The first carbide burs with staggered toothing. This new manufacturing technology made it possible to produce smooth-running dental instruments that remove dental material efficiently while leaving a smooth surface on the tooth.
A time-saving solution for crown preparations, S-Diamonds. With a unique at that time patented blank and coarse diamond grit, these instruments remove dental substance gently, yet with great efficiency.
Revolutionised the process of composite fillings with innovative cross-cut toothing of Q-Finishers. Traditional treatments required three-step finishing; Q-Finishers can do the job in two steps, for improved efficacy, time, and cost-saving.
Introduction of K1SM – Cerabur®, a ceramic drill for minimally invasive excavation with high precision and impressively long service life. Smooth, almost vibration-free, K1SM is a particularly popular instrument choice in paediatric dentistry.
Launch of F360 endodontic rotary file system for easy-to-use, fast, and safe root canal preparation.
Developed Procodile endodontic reciprocating files, with a variably tapered core. In 2021, the system was supplemented by the heat-treated Procodile Q file, for even more comfort and safety during use.
Launch of SHAX, a new standard for work on non-precious metal alloys. Patented cutting-edge geometry of the SHAX enables "greedy" substance removal while creating perfectly smooth surfaces that are easy to polish.
Introduction of another ingenious patented technology in, DIAO burs, with innovative diamond coating interspersed with ceramic pearls. Particularly sharp, yet easy to control, DIAO allows for precise preparations and more efficient treatments.
Launch of FQ. This new rotary nickel-titanium file system allows for effective and minimally invasive treatment of difficult root-canals. The innovative variably tapered file-core has a double-S cross-section and offers maximal flexibility and cutting performance.
