Excavator

A dental excavator is a specialized hand instrument used in restorative dentistry to remove decayed tissue, debris, and old restorative material from the tooth cavity. Its precise design allows for effective and controlled excavation, enabling dentists to prepare cavities for new restorations and ensure a clean, healthy surface for optimal bonding.

Features:

Blade Design: The excavator features a sharp, scooped or curved blade designed for scraping and removing decayed tissue and debris from tooth cavities. The blade is typically made from high-quality stainless steel to ensure durability and maintain a sharp cutting edge.
Variety of Shapes and Sizes: Dental excavators come in various shapes and sizes, including curved, straight, and spoon-shaped blades. This variety allows for the selection of the appropriate instrument based on the specific needs of the cavity preparation and the accessibility of the area.
Ergonomic Handle: The handle of the excavator is designed for comfort and control, often featuring an ergonomic shape that fits comfortably in the dentist’s hand. The handle may be textured or contoured to provide a secure grip and reduce hand fatigue during use.
Precision: The design of the excavator allows for precise control and maneuverability, enabling the dentist to effectively remove only the damaged or decayed material while preserving healthy tooth structure.
