Composite and Modeling Instruments

Composite and modeling instruments are used to place, adapt and sculpt tooth-colored composite resin before it is light-cured. Their smooth, polished working ends help prevent the material from sticking or pulling away from the cavity walls.

FAQs

Why use special instruments for composite?

Composite is sticky before curing, so smooth, polished instruments help place and shape it without pulling it away from the tooth.

Can composite instruments be sterilized?

Yes. Stainless steel composite instruments can be cleaned and autoclaved between patients.
