FAQs
Why does the pad matter?
It gives the plier a stable seat on the occlusal surface, so the removing tip lifts the band rather than pressing into the tooth or gingiva.
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.
