Description
PROBE: The dental probe is yet another crucial tool:
It enables a rudimentary assessment of the tooth surfaces.
It can assist in locating places that have deterioration and calculus, albeit caution should be used to avoid cavitation.
It can be applied to detect minor restoration overhangs or failures.
MOUTH MIRROR: For indirect vision, mouth mirrors are utilized.
Certain areas of the mouth where seeing is difficult or impossible require indirect vision. Retraction of tissues like the tongue or cheeks is done with the mouth mirror to improve visibility of the teeth.
TWEEZER: These are useful for scooping up burs, cotton wool pledges, and other items that you don't want to handle.
