<h2 style="text-align:justify">KaVo MASTERmatic M07 L Maintenance: One Routine for Restorative and Prophy Days</h2>

&nbsp;

The KaVo MASTERmatic M07 L may handle caries excavation in the morning and a prophylaxis application in the afternoon. Each leaves a different kind of residue.

This guide builds one consistent routine that handles both.

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Why Dual Use Changes Care</h2>

&nbsp;

KaVo lists the M07 L for caries excavation and prophylaxis. Polishing paste and cutting debris both need to come off before lubrication and sterilization, or they get pushed deeper.

<h2 style="text-align:justify">KaVo&#39;s Reprocessing Order</h2>

&nbsp;

KaVo&#39;s preparation video covers external and internal cleaning, internal disinfection, manual maintenance and sterilization. Clean first, always: lubricating over residue only pushes it further in.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Heads and Shank</h2>

&nbsp;

KaVo&#39;s flyer lists the M07 L as a shank for INTRA LUX heads, so reprocess every head that was used, and keep the safety retention collar area clean, as described on KaVo&#39;s INTRA heads page.

&nbsp;

Feels gritty after a prophy day? Have Repair.Dental check it.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Spray and Filter</h2>

&nbsp;

KaVo&#39;s care tips link a dirty filter to reduced spray and warn against descaling agents. Replace the exchangeable filter when spray drops.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Lubrication</h2>

&nbsp;

Use KaVo Spray or the QUATTROcare PLUS after cleaning.

&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align:justify">Mistakes With Dual-Use Instruments</h2>
