Additional Information for Dental Amalgamator Capsule And Pestle
Dental amalgamator capsule and pestle are essential tools used in dentistry for the preparation of dental amalgam. Dental amalgam is a mixture of metals, including silver, tin, copper, and mercury, which is used to fill cavities and restore teeth.
The dental amalgamator capsule is a small container that holds the amalgam alloy and mercury. It is designed to mix these components together thoroughly and efficiently. The capsule is typically made of a durable material, such as stainless steel, to ensure its longevity and prevent any contamination.
The dental amalgamator pestle is a tool used to crush and mix the amalgam alloy and mercury inside the capsule. It is usually made of a hard material, such as glass or porcelain, to ensure proper grinding and mixing of the components.
Both the capsule and pestle are crucial in the process of preparing dental amalgam. They allow for precise and consistent mixing of the alloy and mercury, resulting in a homogenous mixture that can be easily placed into the prepared tooth cavity.
These tools are classified under the supply class Dental Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies. They are commonly found in dental clinics and laboratories, where dental professionals use them to create dental amalgam restorations.
