- Primarily used for refining the margins of a cavity preparation, especially in amalgam restorations
Features:
- Marginal preparation:
- Used to produce a bevel on the enamel of a cavity preparation, especially in amalgam restorations
- This helps to ensure a strong and durable seal between the restorative material and the tooth
- Cutting blades:
- Features slightly curved blades with sharp, beveled edges
- These are used to cut enamel and refine the cavosurface margin of the preparation
- Mesial or distal access:
- The off-angle design of the blades allows for specific mesial or distal access into the preparation
- Ergonomic design:
- Has a large-diameter, ultra-lightweight, solid resin handle with extended knurling in "Alabaster Gray"
- This design improves grip, enhances tactile sensitivity, and helps reduce hand fatigue and the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome
- Superior materials:
- Working ends are made from cryogenically treated 440A surgical stainless steel
- This process makes them harder, sharper, and tougher, allowing them to hold their edge longer
- Manufacturing:
- The instrument is handcrafted in the USA
