ABSTRACT:
In order to achieve precision in sharpening, particularly for dental instruments, a sharpening device includes a base having a generally upwardly extending hand grip portion wherein the base is adapted to be position on a generally horizontal supporting surface. The sharpening device also includes a sharpening stone or the like operatively associated with the base together with a retainer for removably retaining the sharpening stone in at least one angular position relative to the generally horizontal supporting surface. Further, a method of sharpening a dental instrument having a cutting edge defined by a face and lateral side is disclosed. The sharpening method includes providing a support for a sharpening stone at a preselected angle to a horizontal plane and then holding the dental instrument with one hand while also holding the support with the other hand. With this accomplished, the method further includes placing the lateral side of the dental instrument into direct contact with the sharpening stone, orienting the dental instrument with the face parallel to the horizontal plane, and thereafter imparting relative movement therebetween.
