Dental Chisel

Dental chisels are specialized tools used in dentistry for various procedures. They are part of the supply class Dental Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies.

Dental chisels are typically made of stainless steel and have a sharp, narrow blade with a beveled edge. They are used to remove or shape dental materials, such as enamel, dentin, or bone, during procedures like tooth extraction, cavity preparation, or periodontal surgery.

These chisels come in different shapes and sizes, each designed for specific purposes. Some common types of dental chisels include:

1. Straight Chisels: These have a straight blade and are used for cutting or shaping dental materials.

2. Wedelstaedt Chisels: These have a curved blade and are commonly used for removing bone during oral surgery.

3. Binangle Chisels: These have an angled blade and are used for accessing hard-to-reach areas or for specific procedures.

4. Hatchet Chisels: These have a wider blade and are used for removing or shaping dental materials, particularly in posterior teeth.

Dental chisels are essential tools in dental practices and are used by dentists, oral surgeons, and dental hygienists. They are typically sterilized before each use to ensure patient safety and prevent the spread of infections.

It's important to note that dental chisels should only be used by trained professionals and under appropriate clinical conditions.
