Ideal for reshaping molar bands and crowns. The curved beaks work the metal into the contour of the tooth, so a band seats properly against the enamel rather than standing away from it at the margins.

FAQs
Why contour a band?
A contoured band follows the tooth surface, which improves fit and retention and reduces the gap where plaque and cement washout collect.
How should the plier be cared for?
Clean and dry it fully before autoclaving, and keep the joint free of debris. Wire-bending pliers last longest when they are not used as cutters, which rounds the beaks and shortens their working life.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is made from hardened Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
