5. CARBON STEEL
• More corrosion
tendency.
• Harder than stainless
steel.
• It loses keen edge
slower than stainless
steel.
STAINLESS STEEL
• Less corrosion
tendency.
• Less comparatively.
• It loses keen edge
quicker during much
use.

6. • Most of the instruments are composed of
the following parts:
• Handle
• Shank
• Blade/Nib

7. • It is used to hold the instrument.
• They are available in various sizes and
shapes.
• It may be smooth or eight sided and serrated.
• On handle of the instrument, the instrument
formula and manufacturer’s name are written.

8. • It connects the handle with the working point
or nib of the instrument.
• It is smooth, round or tapered.
• It may be straight or bent for better control of
working point when the force is applied.
• It has one or more angles to avoid twisting of
the instrument.

10. • Working part of the instrument.
• Connected to the handle by
shank.
• Each blade has a cutting edge
that is the working end.

11. • Black classified all instruments according to:
• FUNCTION: Excavator.
• MANNER OF USE: Hand condenser.
• DESIGN OF WORKING END: Hatchet
• SHAPE OF THE SHANK: Mono-angle, bin
angle, contra-angle.
• These names were combined to form the
complete description of the instrument e.g, bin-
angle spoon excavator

12. • Hand cutting instruments have formulas
describing the dimensions and angles of
working end. Placed on the handle as three or
four figures.

13. • For instruments in which the primary
cutting edge is at a right angle to the
long axis of the blade.
14-10-16
• 14: Width of the blade (in tenths of
mm)
• 10: Length of the blade (in mm)
• 16: Angle (in centigrade) made by long
axis of the blade and the long axis of
the handle

14. 15-95-10-7
• 15: Width of the blade (in tenth of mm)
• 95: Primary cutting edge angle
(in centigrade)
• 10: Length of the blade (in mm)
• 7: Angle the blade makes with the
long axis of the handle (in
centigrade)

15. • Most cutting instruments have on the end of
blade a single bevel that forms the primary
cutting edge.
• Additional two bevel extends from primary
cutting edge for the length of the blade.
• This allows cutting in three dimensions.

16. CHISELS:
• Used primarily for cutting enamel
• Used with push motion.
• They are grouped as:
Straight, slightly curved or bin-
angle
 Enamel hatchets
 Gingival margin trimmer

18. • Used primarily in anterior teeth, for
preparing retentive areas and sharpening
internal line angles.
• To remove unsupported enamel
• It comes as right and left types for use on
opposite sides of the preparation
• Used with push, pull & vertical motion.

19. • It is used to trim, smooth, and shape the gingival
floor of a cavity preparation.
• It is also used for rounding or beveling of the
axiopulpal line angle.
• Used with lateral scraping motion.

21. • Used to clean and smooth floor and walls in cavity
preparation and forming line angles.
• Used with a pulling motion
• Cutting edge or blade nearly perpendicular to handle.

22. • If the angle of the blade is less than 12.5 centigrade, it is
mono-angle chisel & if it is more than 12.5 centigrade, it
is hoe.

23. • Primarily used for sharpening internal line angles and
creating retentive features in dentine in preparation for
gold restorations.
• Used in 3 motions vertical, push and pull.

24. • Used to remove
 Soft carious dentine
 Temporary crowns
 Temporary cement in temporary restoration
 Permanent crown during try-in
• Discoid: Cutting edges are circular
• Cleoid: Cutting edges are claw like

27. MOUTH MIRROR:
• To reflect light in the mouth
• To retract lips, cheeks, and tongue
• To provide indirect vision

28. • It is used to examine caries, calculus, furcation.
• Variety of sizes and types
Orban
Pigtail
Shepherd’s hook

29. • To grasp or transfer items and/or material into
and out of the oral cavity.
• Plain or serrated tips.
• Pointed or rounded tips

31. DYCAL APPLICATOR
• To place calcium hydroxide or glass ionomer in
cavity preparation.

32. • It is used for mixing cements and carrying
materials.

33. • AMALGAM PLUGGER
• To carry and dispense amalgam for cavity preparation
• Single or double ended

34. CONDENSER
• Used to pack and condense amalgam into cavity
preparation
• Single or double sided
• Smooth or serrated ends
• Round or flat
• Small or large sizes

35. • Used to smooth amalgam after condensing.
• Burnish amalgam.
• It is also used to contour matrix band before
placement.
• It may be single or double ended.

37. • To carve occlusal anatomy into amalgam
restoration
• Single or double ended.

39. • Modified pen
• Inverted pen
• Palm and thumb
• Modified palm and thumb
