Miltex Dental Instruments
Dentists, dental assistants, hygienists and all types of dental professionals need high precision tools to ensure patients get best care. Miltex makes some of the best dental instruments on the market ranging from dental mirrors to dental drills.They are generally used to examine, cleanse, extract, reconstruct, and manipulate teeth and oral structures. Med-Vet International carries a wide selection of German grade and mid-grade dental instruments from Integra Miltex, whose products provide dentists with the proper tools for a variety of dental procedures.
There are multiple aspects to consider before selecting a dental instrument. The first and most important is to know what type of procedure will be carried out. Occasionally, there is the option to choose between disposable and reusable supplies. In some cases, the instruments used for procedure need to adapt to the delivery system and the rest of the equipment. Anyhow, it is important to be prepared and have all the necessary supplies accessible that may be used on a dental procedure.
Miltex Integra dental instruments include, but are not limited to the following products:
Mouth Mirror
This instrument allows the visibility of all teeth and all the places that are not accessible at simple sight.This instrument helps dentists to detect potential problems that otherwise would go unnoticeable. The mouth mirror is also used to move the tongue and keep it away from the area of work.A Miltex Front Surface Mirror eliminates the "ghost image" altogether because the reflecting layer is no longer behind the glassbut on its surface. It reflects only once, guaranteeing clear vision, free from all distortion
Sickle Probe
The sickle probe is also known as a dental explorer. This instrument is primarily used to examine visible cavitiesand scrape tartar or plaque. This is a scary tool for most patients, but it is essential for preventative care.Miltex dental single-ended probes come with color coded points used to measure periodontal pocket depth and attachment levels in millimeter increments.
Scaler
Scalers play an important role in preventing gum disease (periodontal disease) and reverse it in some cases. This dental instrumentcan remove built up areas of plaque and tartar, preventing tooth decay in the long term.
Curette
Like scalers, curettes are used for the extraction of plaque, but they are specifically designed to remove itfrom underneath the gum line to prevent causing any damage to the gums. The main difference between a scaler and a curette is in the blade.The blade of a scaler is triangular, while a curette is semicircular.In cross section, the blade of a scaler is triangular, whereas a curette is semicircular. Med-Vet International carries Miltex universal curettes,which can be used against either the mesial or distal tooth surface. Universal curettes are used for scaling, root planning and periodontaldebridement of supragingival and subgingival tooth surfaces.
Suction Device
Suction instruments are used to remove accumulated moisture. While the dentist or dental hygienist works with a patient,an excess amount of saliva will accumulate in the mouth. Typically, the suction device is placed inthe area of the patient's lower jaw within the lower row of teeth to absorb blood, dental debris, and saliva during procedures.
Dental Drill
This dental instrument is very effective to remove disintegrated material, or plaque, from a cavity.While the tooth is being drilled, the tiny diamond chips on the tip of the bit erode the damaged plaque and enamel.Once the plaque is removed from the teeth, the bacteria have no other place to live.The hole is filled with a material that makes the tooth stronger and helps prevent further damage.The dental drill is very durable and able to withstand the high amount of heat generated by rapid rotation.
