Dental Spoon Excavators
BusinessMed® Dental Spoon Excavators — each a dental excavator with a small spoon-shaped end — remove softened, carious dentin and the coronal pulp. Ours are long-shank endodontic patterns that reach the floor of the pulp chamber to clear dentin, pulp tissue and debris: double-ended 31L, 31W, 32L and 33L excavators with spoons from 1 to 2 mm, and the Glick No. 2.

How to choose a dental spoon excavator
- Spoon size. 1 mm (31L), 1.3 mm oval (31W), 1.5 mm (32L) or 2.0 mm (33L); the spoon size is the main difference between the numbers.
- Shank length. All our excavators are long-shank patterns, made to reach the floor of the pulp chamber.
- Handle. The W and L patterns sit on the H4 hollow handle.
What are dental excavators used for?
As an excavator in dentistry, each pattern here is used for pulp chamber debridement in root canal treatment — removing coronal pulp tissue, dentin and debris from the chamber floor — and removing carious and softened dentin before a restoration. For locating canal orifices, see Endodontic Explorers.
