Max Plus Dental Cement Spatula is a simple yet fundamental hand instrument in restorative and prosthetic dentistry. Its sole purpose is the thorough and precise mixing of various dental materials—such as zinc phosphate, glass ionomer, polycarboxylate cements, and liners—on a mixing pad or glass slab. Available in both single and double-ended configurations (as shown), the spatula features flat, often slightly flexible blades designed to facilitate the rapid and homogeneous incorporation of powder into liquid, which is critical for achieving the correct setting properties and strength of the final cement mix.

The Cement Spatula is vital across all phases of restorative and prosthetic dentistry:
Restorative Dentistry: Used every time a filling, liner, or base requires manual mixing.
Prosthetic Dentistry (Crown/Bridge): Essential for mixing the adhesive (luting agent) used to permanently seat fixed prostheses.

Endodontics: Employed to mix certain sealers or specialized filling materials used within the root canal system.
 
💡 How to Use (General Principle)
 
The Cement Spatula is used with a broad, sweeping motion:
The powder and liquid components of the chosen cement are dispensed onto a clean mixing pad or glass slab according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The clinician uses the flat blade of the spatula to rapidly fold and incorporate the powder into the liquid, employing a broad, sweeping motion to ensure uniform consistency and prevent premature setting.
The final mix is scraped off the blade and transferred to the tooth or restoration using the spatula or another placement instrument.
