ABSTRACT:
An improved dental instrument is provided to more easily carry the liquid stage of a self-hardening dental base material into place within a tooth cavity and to subsequently trim any hardened excess material. The combination dental applicator and carver instrument includes an enlarged, flat-faced, sharp-edged working tip at the end of a relatively narrow shank which is sharply and smoothly tapered from its sharp-edged circumference down to the narrow shank. The flat face allows the working tip to more efficiently coat tooth surfaces which are essentially parallel to it. The tapered configuration of the working tip inhibits undesired capillary action when the dental base material is applied into the tooth cavity. The sharp-edged tip also allows the hardened excess dental base material to be readily trimmed away.
