A Dental Amalgam Carrier Syringe 45 Degree is a specialized dental instrument used to carry and place dental amalgam (a material used for dental fillings) into the cavity preparation in a patient's tooth. The 45-degree angle refers to the design of the syringe's nozzle, which is angled to provide better access and precision when placing the amalgam in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. Here are some key features of this instrument: Design: The syringe has a curved or angled tip (usually 45 degrees) that helps dentists to insert the amalgam into the cavity efficiently, especially when working in areas with limited visibility or accessibility, such as the back teeth (molars). Capacity: The syringe is typically designed to hold a small amount of amalgam material, making it easy to place the right amount into the cavity without wastage. Material: Like other dental instruments, it is usually made of stainless steel or other durable, sterilizable materials to ensure longevity and hygiene. Usage: It is commonly used in restorative dentistry when placing dental fillings after cleaning out the decay in a cavity. The 45-degree angle helps with precision placement in the deep or posterior regions of the mouth. This tool is part of a suite of dental instruments designed for precise and efficient filling procedures, allowing for better patient comfort and ensuring the material is placed securely in the cavity.
