Calcium Hydroxide Placement Instruments
BusinessMed® Calcium Hydroxide Placement Instruments: each calcium hydroxide instrument carries liner and base material — calcium hydroxide or glass ionomer — to the cavity preparation on small ball ends. The liner goes into the deepest part of the preparation, nearest the pulp, and is kept off the walls. The range covers small, double-ended and curved and angled patterns and a mini spatula combination.
Types of placement instruments
- Small placement instrument — a small ball end for liner over the dentin nearest the pulp.
- Double-ended placement instrument — two ball ends; carries a thicker base to the cavity floor and works as a small burnisher.
- Curved and angled placement instrument — on the H4 handle.
- Mini spatula and placement instrument — a mini spatula on one end to mix small amounts, a placement end on the other.
How to choose a dental liner applicator
- Mix and place with one instrument → the mini spatula combination.
- Two ball sizes → the double-ended pattern.
- Reach → the curved and angled pattern.
What is a calcium hydroxide instrument dental use?
Lining deep preparations with calcium hydroxide or glass ionomer, placing bases, and small burnishing — a liner placement instrument keeps the material over the area nearest the pulp and off the cavity margins.
