Lemgo, January 5, 2026 – The H4A, Komet’s new amalgam remover, makes the removal of amalgam safe, simple and efficient. The H4A, Komet’s new amalgam remover, makes the removal of amalgam safe, simple and efficient. Whether due to age, damage, caries or for cosmetic reasons – the removal of amalgam fillings is a routine job at any dental practice.
In addition to a successful restoration while preserving the natural tooth as much as possible, protecting the patient and practice team from potentially toxic mercury vapors is an absolute priority when it comes to removing amalgam fillings.
While amalgam could already be removed quickly and safely with the Komet’s previous amalgam remover H32, Komet is now introducing its successor H4A which makes treatments particularly safe, simple and efficient for users: Specially developed in Lemgo for this very application, this instrument significantly reduces the emission of mercury vapors by 40%* compared to its predecessor.
H4A – Sharper equals faster equals safer.
With the H4A amalgam remover, the dental specialist based in Lemgo is not only launching a successor to the tried-and-tested H32. The new and improved amalgam remover made by Komet increases user safety by reducing the risk of mercury vapor formation by over a third*.
The new amalgam remover owes its significantly higher efficiency to the greater sharpness and the optimized geometry of its blades: the new toothing enables easy, precise penetration into the filling material and a high substance removal rate while demonstrably reducing the formation of mercury vapors.
Shorter treatment times and a gentle procedure for amalgam removal.
The new amalgam remover in the renowned and proven Komet quality can noticeably shorten treatment times thanks to its capability of removing old fillings in very little time. The difference may be small when looking at each individual treatment, but the times saved adds up to an economically relevant difference at the end of many a day in the practice.
The sharp blade has a further advantage for patients: the remaining natural tooth substance can be optimally protected thanks to the outstanding sharpness which equals precision. All in all, Komet’s H4A is a state-of-the-art amalgam remover that further improves an already good instrument thanks to its new and improved geometry.
