Dental Wax Spatulas
BusinessMed® Dental Wax Spatulas mix and handle wax and other dental materials on small, flat, blunt blades, usually double-ended. The numbered patterns pair a carrying or spoon end with a shaping blade: No. 7 and the larger 7A, No. 31 with a spear-shaped point, the long No. 5, and a resilient spatula for spreading.
Types of dental wax spatulas
- No. 7 wax spatula — a spoon end for adding and carrying wax and a pointed blade for shaping, on an octagonal handle.
- No. 7A wax spatula — the same layout with a larger blade, for broader wax work.
- No. 31 wax spatula — a curved end for carrying and laying wax and a spear-shaped point for precise application and trimming.
- No. 5 wax spatula — a flat handle and long body for blending on the slab and general wax modeling.
- Resilient double-ended wax spatula — a flexible end for spreading wax and soft materials thin and a pointed end for detail.
How to choose a dental spatula
- Carry or shape. Spoon and curved ends carry and add wax; pointed and spear-shaped ends shape and trim.
- Area of work. 7A and No. 5 for broader areas and the slab; No. 7 and No. 31 for detail.
- Stiff or flexible. The resilient spatula spreads material thin.
