GDC Carver Hollenback - 4 (CVHL3S)
The GDC Carver Hollenback #4 (CVHL3S) is a dental tool utilized in restorative dentistry practices. It features a double-ended design, with a Hollenback carver at one end and a straight carver at the other. The Hollenback carver end is employed for sculpting and shaping dental materials like composite resin, amalgam, and gold. It includes a curved blade with a flat tip intended to reach and shape interproximal surfaces and edges of the tooth preparation. This carver is especially effective in producing smooth, clearly defined surfaces and achieving the correct anatomical shapes for dental restorations.
Applications:

Crown and bridge procedures: This tool is used to mold and outline dental restorations, particularly in areas that are hard to reach.
Orthodontic treatments: The instrument may also be employed in orthodontic procedures to eliminate excess adhesive or to shape orthodontic devices.
Prosthodontic work: The tool can aid in the creation and modification of dental prosthetics such as dentures, bridges, and implants.
