Hollenback Carver - Figure 3S
Made of surgical-grade German stainless steel, our Hollenback Carver – Figure 3S is a precision instrument designed for fine contouring and shaping of dental restorations, particularly in tight interproximal areas. Its smaller, narrow blade allows for detailed carving of composite and amalgam restorations, making it an essential tool for dentists, prosthodontists, and restorative specialists who require accuracy and control in restorative procedures.
- Narrow, Sharp Blades: Designed for precise contouring of composite and amalgam, especially in tight interproximal spaces and small restorations.
- Double-Ended Design: Provides versatility by allowing the user to carve and shape from multiple angles without switching instruments.
- Textured, Ergonomic Handle: Ensures a comfortable, secure grip, reducing hand fatigue and improving control during extended procedures.
- Fine Detailing Capability: Ideal for refining occlusal anatomy, removing excess material, and shaping marginal ridges for a natural finish.
Applications:
- Restorative Dentistry: Used to shape and refine composite and amalgam restorations, ensuring precise adaptation to the natural tooth structure.
- Interproximal Contouring: Designed to reach and sculpt in tight contact areas, helping to create smooth, anatomical restorations.
- Occlusal Adjustments: Allows for the fine-tuning of restorations, ensuring proper function and esthetics.
- Prosthodontic and Cosmetic Dentistry: Commonly used in shaping and finishing restorations for optimal appearance and durability.
The Hollenback Carver was developed as part of a series of dental carving instruments designed for detailed restorative work. Named after its inventor, Dr. Clyde Hollenback, the instrument has been a standard in restorative dentistry for decades.
