DENTAL DRILL SURFACE TREATMENT
A dental drill and a method of surface treating a drill. The drill includes a shaft extending along a central longitudinal axis from a proximal end to a distal end. The proximal end of the shaft includes a shank adapted for connection to a rotary driver. The shaft further includes, distal of the shank, a fluted section including at least one flute extending along the longitudinal length of the fluted section. The method includes: acid etching at least a portion of the fluted section of the shaft in order to create a visible matted effect, subsequently electro-polishing at least the portion of the fluted section of the shaft in order to visibly reduce the matted effect and subsequently creating one or more visual marking within the portion of the fluted section of the shaft.
ROTARY INSTRUMENT FOR DENTAL IMPLANTOLOGY OR ENDODONTICS, COMPRISING A FLEXIBLE PART
The invention relates to a rotary instrument (1) for dental implantology or endodontics, comprising at least one proximal part (10) configured to be connected to a rotational drive means, and a distal part (20), the shape of which is determined by the use of the instrument; the instrument comprising flexible means that make the instrument (1) flexible.
