A wide variety of hand instruments are used in dentistry. These include tools for measuring, probing, cleaning, scraping and even shaping dental composite materials. Regardless of its use, these instruments should feature a comfortable handle and be designed for ergonomic use. They should be autoclavable or otherwise easy to sterilize between uses. If the instrument features a blade, it should be easy to keep sharp. Different clinicians might prefer different instrument styles and designs, so be sure to find the best option for everyone.
