Introduction
The document provides detailed information about the KONIMETER, a friction measuring device developed by OBODENT for use with tapered crowns in dental applications. This device is designed to measure the bonding forces of crowns, ensuring precision and optimal adhesion.

Specifications
The KONIMETER is equipped with diamond-coated jaws and a measuring cylinder tip, suitable for standard die sizes. It offers interchangeable components for extremely thin dies, particularly in anterior regions. The device measures forces in Newtons, with fitting ranges of 40, 50, and 60 N, and removal forces ranging from 0 to 21 N.

Procedures
The KONIMETER allows for the measurement of effective bonding forces during the fitting and removal of tapered crowns on anteriors, molars, and premolars. This objective measurement eliminates disputes over values and fosters collaboration between dental laboratories and practices.

Revisions and Improvements
OBODENT maintains a policy of continuous improvement, reserving the right to modify specifications and design without prior notice.

Conclusion
The KONIMETER is a crucial tool for ensuring the precision and effectiveness of dental fittings, contributing to improved patient care and professional cooperation.
