ABSTRACT:
A scissor-like device having narrow jaws and a ratchet tooth closing clamp between the two handle halves that operates like a hemostat, i.e. it maintains the jaws in a fixed position. The jaws are either curved or wedge-shaped to pry the teeth slightly apart during the filling procedure. In a first embodiment closing the handle separates two teeth from a center tooth. In a second embodiment closing the handles separates two adjacent teeth.
