ABSTRACT:
A dental instrument is provided comprising a first member having a first handle opposite a first jaw and a second member having a second handle and a second jaw. The first jaw is longer than the second jaw, and both jaws have inner surfaces. The first member is pivotally connected to the second member such that the first handle opposes the second handle and the first jaw opposes the second jaw. Movement of the first handle and the second handle correspondingly cause movement of the first jaw and the second jaw. The inner surface of one of the jaws is disposed within an acute angle of the centerline of the instrument. The inner surface of the other jaw is disposed at the acute angle from the disposed jaw.
