OBODENT DENTALTECHNIK KONI-METER Friction gauge for tapered crowns KONI-METER • Operating instructions

OBODENT DENTALTECHNIK Product description KONI-METER is a mechanical gauge for ascertaining the friction (retentive force) of Technical data tapered crowns. It is simple to use and enables accurate measurement of the friction between fixed and removable crowns. Measuring the insertion force Measuring the withdrawal force Changing the calliper legs Changing the measuring cylinder point Customer service Spare parts list KONI-METER • Operating instructions

OBODENT DENTALTECHNIK The KONI-METER friction gauge was developed to measure this retentive fit 1 KONI-METER (in a plastic case) ready for use, includes: precisely. The KONI-METER allows the user to eliminate the risk of calculated guesswork and 2 standard calliper legs (fitted) measure the actual retentive forces when 2 extra slim calliper legs inserting and withdrawing conical crowns. 1 standard measuring cylinder point (fitted) Clinically tested values were used to determine 1 standard thin measuring cylinder point the measuring points and ranges of the KONIMETER for the insertion force...

OBODENT DENTALTECHNIK Hold the top part of the KONI-METER. Push the point of the measuring cylinder down until the The retentive force is measured as follows: inner crown is inserted to the required depth in 1. Measuring the insertion force 2. Measuring the withdrawal force Measuring the insertion force Insert the inner crown into the outer crown using the correct path of insertion without applying any force. Observe the coloured rings above the measuring cylinder when inserting the crowns. The coloured rings under the measuring cylinder shank indicate the amount of insertion force required...

OBODENT DENTALTECHNIK Measuring the withdrawal force Adjust the line on the measuring slide to 0. Read the force required for withdrawing the crown on the measuring scale. Following the path of insertion, insert the closed callipers into the inner crown, which has already been inserted into the outer crown, as descriped in chapter “Measuring the insertion force”. Remove the inner crown by closing the callipers together with the adjustment screw. Open the callipers carefully by turning the adjustment screw, until they have sufficient contact with the inside wall of inner crown. Use the...

OBODENT DENTALTECHNIK Changing the calliper legs Remove the calliper legs from the holders. Pull the calliper legs from the casing and hold the legs and holders in this position using the adjustment screw. Insert the new calliper legs into the holders. Ensure that the flat sides of the callipers are facing each other. Loosen the knurled screws on the calliper holders by turning them anti-clockwise. Lock the callipers by tightening the knurled screws (in a clockwise direction). KONI-METER • Operating instructions

OBODENT DENTALTECHNIK Changing the measuring cylinder point The measuring cylinder point are made from highly durable resin. To change from a standard to extra slim point or vice versa, or to change the point due to wear and tear, unscrew the measuring cylinder point from the measuring cylinder by turning it anti-clockwise. When cleaning the KONI-METER, ensure that no moisture gets into the inside of the gauge, as this could impair the function of the gauge. The diamond-coated caliper legs can be removed and cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner. Ensure that the caliper legs are completely dry...
