HALF OPENED BEAK SCOOP DENTAL SPATULA

Abstract

Dental Spatula: Accompanying the mixing slab, the spatula is engineered for efficiency and control. With its flat, wide blade, it allows for thorough mixing, precise application, and the ability to manipulate materials with ease. Available in various materials, including metal and plastic, the spatula is designed for durability and versatility. Together, the dental mixing glass slab and spatula enhance the quality of dental work by ensuring that materials are mixed uniformly, leading to improved adhesion and performance in clinical applications. Mastery of these tools is essential for dental professionals committed to delivering high-quality care. The solution provided in this Half Opened Beak Scoop Dental Spatula is the unique shape to adapt the scoop sectioned glass slab. Mixing of dental cements and collecting it is made easier using this Beak Scoop spatula.

Specification

Title of the Invention:
Half Opened Beak Scoop Dental Cement Spatula

Field of Invention
Dentistry


Introduction
A spatula in dentistry is a very useful instrument used ;to mix sealing materials,
(silicones, cements, etc.), to color retraction wires or to separate matrices, among
other functions.
Mixing is performed with an agate spatula. A stainless steel spatula is not used
because its surface gets abraded by glass particles, contaminating the mixture. The
powder and liquid are used in the proportions recommended by the manufacturer.
The development of specialized spatulas, made from metals like stainless steel, allowed for better control and efficiency in mixing. These tools became standard in dental practices as they improved the consistency of material applications.



Background History
The evolution of dental tools, including the mixing glass slab and spatula, reflects advancements in dental practice and material science over the centuries.
Early Developments
• Ancient Dentistry: The use of rudimentary tools can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where early dentists utilized basic implements for mixing and applying materials made from natural substances.
• Medieval Period: During the Middle Ages, the introduction of metal tools marked a significant improvement in dental practices. However, mixing
techniques remained basic, with wooden or stone surfaces used for preparation.


19th Century Innovations
. Industrial Revolution: The 19th century saw significant advancements in dental materials and techniques. The introduction of glass as a mixing surface provided a smoother, more hygienic alternative to wood or stone. Glass slabs became increasingly popular due to their ease of cleaning and ability to facilitate precise mixing.




Objectives
To ensure the dental materials are mixed uniformly. To achieve a smooth and creamy mix. To manipulate materials with ease
Summary of the Invention
Together, the dental mixing glass slab and spatula enhance the quality of dental work by ensuring that materials are mixed uniformly, leading to improved adhesion and performance in clinical applications. Mastery of these tools is essential for dental professionals committed to delivering high-quality care.
The solution provided in this Half Opened Beak Scoop Dental Spatula is the unique shape to adapt the scoop sectioned glass slab. Mixing of dental cements and collecting it is made easier using this Beak Scoop spatula.


Detailed Description
Cement spatula is used for mixing cements and powder in dental work. GDC
provides cement spatula hand instrument in single end and in double end also. Used
in common obturation technique for finishing the margins of plastic filling
restorations.
Cement spatula have a flat and wide nib with blunt or pointed edges. It is .used to,
.mix dental cements on a glass slab or paper pad. They are stainless steel and plastic
spatulas available for different types of cements.
Half opened beak scoop spatula is used in coordination with scooped dental glass
shab so that the beak portion engages to the glass slab and a uniform mix is achieved.



Advantages
Dental materials are mixed uniformly.
Smooth and creamy mix.
Easy manipulation of dental materials
