title: Kinetic cavity preparation--hit or flop?
abstract: The preparation of dental hard tissues is carried out primarily with rotating instruments and is known to have some shortcomings. Kinetic cavity preparation (KCP) seems to be a desirable alternative. Nevertheless, scientific investigations and clinical experiences revealed numerous disadvantages which have led to a clear limitation of its use. For example, KCP can not replace the normal conditioning of enamel by acid etching. The hopes connected with the re-introduction of this technology for conservative dentistry have not been fulfilled.
