Introduction
The Kreativ Mach 5.0 and Mach 5.0 PLUS systems are compact, highly reliable, state-
of-the-art instruments designed for Air Abrasive MicroDentistry. They are designed as

and as an adjunct to the high speed dental handpiece and bur. These instruments were
developed after extensive consultation with dentists in order to provide the optimum
performance, taking into consideration patient comfort and the time constraints faced by
today’s 21st Century dental office.
