Conodent posterior band removing orthodontic plier – short

Description

The Conodent Posterior Band Removing Orthodontic Plier – Short (CDT-E-131) is a specialized dental hand instrument designed for the rapid, safe, and controlled removal of seated orthodontic bands from posterior teeth (premolars and molars). Featuring a compact, short-beak architecture, this instrument optimizes mechanical leverage while significantly improving visibility and access within the confined posterior regions of the oral cavity.

Technical Specifications

Key Structural & Design Highlights

• Short Beak Leverage System: The short working end reduces the distance between the pivot hinge and the tooth surface, delivering an enhanced mechanical advantage. This translates into minimal clinician hand pressure required to lift securely cemented molar bands.

• Dual-Action Jaw Mechanism:

  • The Occlusal Support Pad: Features a smooth, replaceable plastic or nylon cushion designed to rest securely on the occlusal surface of the tooth, distributing force evenly and mitigating stress on the enamel.

  • The Sharp Removing Beak: Meticulously wedge-shaped to precisely slip beneath the gingival margin of the orthodontic band without inflicting trauma onto the surrounding soft tissue or marginal gingiva.

• Lap-Joint Stability: Assembled with a precision-fitted lap joint that maintains strict parallelism between the beaks over long-term clinical deployment, preventing tip deflection during high-torque extractions.

• Corrosion-Resistant Satin Finish: The surgical steel body features a matte satin finish that diffuses harsh operatory light reflections, preventing glare while providing optimal resistance against chemical oxidation and pitting during repeated autoclave cycles.
