🌟 Introduction to the Max Plus Dental Plaster Knife
 
The Max Plus Dental Plaster Knife is a foundational tool in the dental laboratory, used extensively for the crucial task of trimming, carving, and refining dental models made from plaster or dental stone. After an impression is poured, the resulting stone or plaster model often has excess material that must be removed to define the anatomical structures clearly and prepare the model for appliance fabrication or diagnostic use.
 
🏥 Product Categories According to Surgical Procedures
 
The Plaster Knife is classified as a primary tool in laboratory-based dental disciplines:
Prosthetic Dentistry (Prosthodontics): Fundamental for preparing casts used to fabricate full and partial dentures, crowns, and bridges.
Orthodontics: Essential for trimming diagnostic and working casts to precise specifications required for appliance construction and case study documentation.
Dental Laboratory Technology: A core, daily-use instrument for technicians responsible for all casting and model-finishing procedures.
 
💡 How to Use (General Principle)
 
The Plaster Knife is used with controlled, powerful cutting and carving strokes:
Safety First: The clinician or technician always cuts away from the body, utilizing the large handle for maximum control.
Trimming: The blade is applied to the excess plaster or stone, and controlled pressure is used to shave or cut away material, typically starting with large cuts and progressing to finer, controlled scrapes to finish the margins.
Refining: For delicate areas, the tip can be used in a scraping or paring motion to smooth the base and side of the cast, ensuring a polished and clean model ready for the next stage of appliance fabrication.
