Hey Mo, learn’m ‘bout

dental tools today!



- Thomas Carlyle

Man is a tool using animal.Nowhere do you find him without tools;

Without tools he is nothing, with tools he is all.

Chisel of stainless steel with carbide insert

to produce the cutting edge.

Carbide - an intermetallic compoundof carbon and another material

“ Tungsten” carbide - used in cutting instruments (blades)

“ Silicon” carbide - used as abrasives



Annealing

Hardening

Tempering

- 3 basic & sequential steps



Annealing reduces the steel to its extreme degree of softness. The

metal is heated to a dull redness and cooled slowly. A greater degree

of softness is produced by excluding the atmosphere by covering it

and allowing it to cool slowly. Annealing relieves strains and makes

the metal as ductile as possible for machining and shaping.

Main Entry: duc·tile

Pronunciation: ' d&k- t &l , - "t I l

Function: adjective

Etymology: Middle French & Latin; Middle French, from Latin ductilis, from duc

1 : capable of being drawn out or hammered thin <ductile iron>

2 : easily led or influenced

3 : capable of being fashioned into a new form

synonym see PLASTIC

-duc·til·i·ty /"d&k- ' t i - l &- tE/ noun



The metal is then hardened to its limit by heating it to a full cherry-red color

which allows the carbon to freely migrate through-out the piece

and plunging it immediately into cold water. In this state it is extremelybrittle. The more carbon present, the harder and more brittle it becomes.

Note: Gold casting alloy is hardened by slow bench

cool ing and annelled (softened) by quenching a hot

casting in water.



The relief of strains produced by the hardening process to an

extent needed for a particular tool (varies). Tempered steel is less brittle.

This is accomplished by reheating to a lower temperature (than for

hardening) and plunging it into cold water, oil, or mercury.



Temperature abuse of hand instrumentswill alter the original properties of the alloy

and make the instrument unserviceable

for the intended purpose.

Don’t flame a cutting/carving instrument becauseyou will destroy its cutting ability and toughness.

Examples in instruments we use:

• plastic instruments







Straight - no angle

Monangle - one angle

Binangle - two angles

Triple angle - three angles
