FAQs
What is a spoon excavator used for?
It removes softened, carious dentine from a cavity by hand, giving the clinician tactile control over how much tissue is removed.
Why use a hand excavator instead of a bur?
Hand excavation gives more tactile feedback and can be gentler in preserving healthy dentine at the cavity floor.
Often used alongside discoid excavators and filling instruments during cavity preparation.
Manufactured by InstruDental, UK specialists in dental hand instruments.
