cutting instrument :
The force applied in the same plane as that of
the blade and handle ; it is called single planed
instrument.
Have 2 or more curves or angles in their
shanks ,and in the same plane as the handle.
Used in direct or lateral cutting.
2.CONTRANGLING.
EXCAVATORS
THESE ARE DESIGNED FOR EXCAVATION REMOVAL OF CARIOUS
DENTIN AND FOR THE SHAPING OF THE INTERNAL PARTS OF CAVITIES.
HOE EXCAVATOR.
SPOON EXCAVATOR.
DISCOID EXCAVATOR.
CLEIOD EXCAVATOR.
HATCHET EXCAVATOR.
SPOON EXACAVATORS.
A.bin-angle spoon
C.spoon
HOE EXCAVATOR.
DISCOID EXCAVATOR
CLEOID EXCAVATOR.
It resembles a claw
,hence the name cleoid.
It is essentially a spoon
excavator except the
blade comes to a point.
It is double planed
instrument with lateral
cutting movements.
Used in carving amalgam
and excavating decay.
CHISEL
THESE ARE INTENDED FOR CUTTING ENAMEL. IT USUALLY BEVELLED ON ONE SIDE .
STRAIGHT CHISEL.
MONO ANGLE CHISELS.
BI ANGLE CHISELS.
TRIPLE ANGLE CHISELS.
STRAIGHT CHISELS.
Have a straight blade in line
with the handle and shank.
The cutting edge is on one side
only, with the bevel of the hand
running at a right angle to the
shaft.

RESTORATIVE INSTRUMENTS
CEMENT SPATULAS
Several types of spatulas are available in the market
differing in shape and size.
On the basis of size, cement spatula can be classified into:
- large
- small
AMALGAM CARRIERS
To pack amalgam material in to the tooth preparation,
amalgam carriers are used.
They carry the freshly prepared restorative material in to the
tooth.
CARVERS
They are used to contour the restoration.
Sharp cutting edges present in carvers are used to sharpen
and form tooth anatomy from a restoration.
BURNISHERS
For final condensation of amalgam
Initial shaping of occlusal anatomy of amalgam
COMPOSITE RESIN INSTRUMENT
A wide range of double ended instruments are used
to transport and place resins
They are made up of plastic or titanium coating
TYPES :
- Handpiece
- Bur
HANDPIECES
The first rotary instruments were drill or bur heads that were
twisted with the fingers for crude cutting of the tooth tissue
Micromotor handpiece
DENTAL BURS
It is a rotary cutting instrument which has bladed
cutting edge.
They are used to remove tooth structure either by
chipping or grinding.

BUR DESIGN
BUR BLADE
It is the projection on the bur head which forms a
cutting edge.it has two surfaces
rake face-surface of bur lade on the leading edge
clearance face-surface of bur blade on the trailing
edge
RADIAL LINE
It is the line connecting center of the bur and the
blade.
LAND
It is the plane surface immediately following the cutting
edge.
CLEARANCE ANGLE
This is the angle between the clearance face and the
work.
BLADE ANGLE
