A hand-held, dental instrument intended to be used by a dentist for intraoral inspection or inspection and retraction. It typically consists of a stainless steel shaft terminating at the distal end in a small round mirror that is angled to the shaft. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held dental instrument designed for removing calculus and other accretions from the surface and between the teeth during dental cleaning and periodontal (gum) therapy. It is typically designed as a one-piece instrument with a pointed, distal end of various shapes and sizes. Also known as a periodontic scaler, it can be a single-ended or double-ended instrument with a handle at the proximal end or positioned centrally. It is usually made of high-grade stainless steel. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held manual dental instrument intended to be used for producing and perfecting anatomical forms in dental amalgam restorations, typically by cutting, scraping, paring, and smoothing finishes and modelling patterns intraorally. It will typically be a double-ended instrument with working ends of various shapes and designs, and a central handle. This is a reusable device.

A container intended to provide a suitable platform for placing/containing many medical/surgical/dental instruments and related items for use during a clinical procedure; it might, in addition, be used during, but not dedicated to, reprocessing/sterilization procedures. It is a receptacle in one of a variety of designs, typically with moulded positions for placing the instruments; it might include a lid and/or removable identification tags. This is a reusable device.

A slender, rod-like, hand-held manual dental surgical instrument intended to be used to explore, measure and/or perform therapeutic procedures during various types of dental surgical intervention. The distal end may be needle-like, hooked, or blunt; it is made of flexible or rigid metallic and/or synthetic polymer material and it may have scaled markings for measurements. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held surgical instrument used during surgery to cut suture or ligature material, i.e., to divide lengths or remove excessive/unwanted ends. It comprises two pivoted blades that are usually provided with a finger and thumb ring-handle and which cut with a shearing action (i.e., the blades cut as the sharpened edges pass one another as they are closed). It is typically metallic and is available in various designs and sizes; the blades may have different shapes, e.g., they can be curved or straight with a hook-like tip to capture the suture/ligature as it is cut. It is not a dedicated ophthalmic device. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held, manual device designed to hold and facilitate manipulation of a non-powered, non-rotary dental instrument (e.g., endodontic file/rasp, implant extractor). It is designed to accept the patient-contact endpiece (not included) for ease of handling. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held manual dental instrument designed specifically to pack a gingival retraction cord between the tooth and the gingiva during abutment preparation. It is a metallic single- or double-ended device with a spatula-like tip(s) which may have serrated edges. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held manual dental device used to manipulate filling materials in the plastic state. It is typically made of stainless steel with a small, flat, blunt blade (no sharp edges) at one end, or it may be double-ended. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held, manual, open-surgery instrument designed to facilitate grasping and manipulation of soft-tissues. It has a tweezers-like design (may be a micro/fine instrument) with variously designed tips at the working end, whereby the blades are designed to be opened/closed by squeezing between the fingers (i.e., without ring handles). It is made of high-grade stainless steel, available in various sizes, and may have carbide inserts at the working end. It is not an electrosurgical device and not dedicated to ophthalmic surgery. This is a reusable device intended to be sterilized prior to use.

A hand-held manual dental instrument designed for cutting, scraping, and removing the carious dentine of a decayed tooth or other pathological bone tissue within the oral cavity. It is made of high-grade stainless steel typically designed as a double-ended instrument, having a central handle, with small, sharp, spoon-, scoop-, or spatula-shaped blades that have sharp cutting/gouging edges. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held manual dental device (a plunger-type syringe) designed to inject and/or aspirate a volume of solution into the working area in the oral cavity. It typically consists of a small syringe (e.g., 3 ml) and is used for washing and aspirating the pulp cavity and root canal to remove debris. It is hand-operated by the user who exerts a steady pressure on, e.g., thumb rings and/or swivel finger bars, which exerts pressure on the syringe plunger forcing the washing/rinsing fluids through an attached needle (e.g., a blunt or very fine needle) directly at the operative site. This is a reusable device.
