A dual-ended triple tooled dental applicator apparatus, comprising a plurality of tools with interchangeable dental tool applicators. The dental apparatus further comprises an elongated handle having two distinct tools on both ends and being detachable and interchangeable. During procedures, the dentist can alternate between both ends of the apparatus and among three dental tool applicators. A set of overlapping and circumferential friction enhancement means, along and about the apparatus, facilitate safe and effective handling during procedures. The multi-functioned dental apparatus is comprised of a lightweight but rigid material (e.g., plastic), which allows the dentist to efficiently use the same tool for working with and applying different materials to a patient's teeth. Upon completion of a given procedure, the entire device may be readily disposable.

A dental instrument for shaping an occlusal surface of a dental restoration includes a handle portion and an end member. The end member includes an elongated portion and a working end portion. The elongated portion is coupled with the handle portion and extends to the working end portion. The working end portion includes a concave surface shaped to be interfaced with a dental restoration material to shape the dental restoration material to form a convex occlusal surface of the dental restoration.

A dental treatment instrument includes a bridge unit, and a first tip and a second tip unit each configured to be replaceable with respect to the bridge unit, where the bridge unit includes a first lengthwise groove formed in a lengthwise direction at one end of the bridge unit, a first circumferential groove extending from the first lengthwise groove in a first circumferential direction, a second lengthwise groove formed in the lengthwise direction at the other end of the bridge unit, and a second circumferential groove extending from the second lengthwise groove in a second circumferential direction different from the first circumferential direction, and the first tip unit includes a first coupling protrusion extending in a direction vertical to the lengthwise direction of the bridge unit, and the second tip unit includes a second coupling protrusion extending in a direction vertical to the lengthwise direction of the bridge unit.

This invention is a classic dental shepherd's hook explorer that has been fitted with a dycal style ball on the end, for a completely new instrument designed to facilitate exacting placement of cavity liners and bases, spreading flowable composite underneath fillings by the Dentist, and placing Interim Therapeutic Restorations (ITR) such as fluoride releasing glass ionomer by the Dentist or Registered Dental Hygienist Expanded Functions (RDHEF).

Doctors then can reach over matrix bands and apply dental bases and liners, or spread flowable composite directly to the axial wall and pulp floor of their preps, and RDHEF's can access hard to reach interproxirnal, root and furcation areas to apply glass ionomer or other Interim Therapeutic Restorations where incipient caries have been hand excavated.

A multi-functional dental tool is provided to be used for the dental filling of teeth after the removal of damage in the teeth. The dental tool includes a forcep portion on one end and a burnisher tool on the other end. The burnisher tool portion includes a flat burnisher and a ball burnisher, and a joint which connects the forcep portion and the burnisher tool portion. The dental tool can also include a penlight holder which can receive and secure a penlight. The penlight, when secured in the penlight holder, provides illumination when performing the filling procedure, especially in situations in which an overhead light source is not readily available.
