ABSTRACT:
An improved dental wedge has a body coupled to a head by a neck. The neck is configured to be smaller in diameter than the proximal end of the body and the distal end of the head. The neck preferably has a plurality of flat surfaces extending about a circumference of the neck. Because of the neck, the wedge includes a groove configured to receive an instrument to (i) push against the proximal end of the body, thereby pushing the wedge into a desired location; and (ii) to pull against the distal end of the head to pull the wedge from a desired location. The neck may also have a textured surface or be coated with a tacky material.
