Dental excavator
A dental excavator is a hand instrument used in dentistry designed to remove carious tissue. It has the shape of a very small sharp spoon.
Before a filling can be placed, the decayed dentin near the pulp must be removed with a dental excavator. Depending on the work that the dentist will perform, there are different sizes of tips with oval or round spoons.
