A dental spatula is a hand-held instrument used in dental procedures to mix, apply, and manipulate various dental materials, such as impression materials, cements, and resins.
Some of its common features include
- Blade shape Dental spatulas typically have a flat or slightly curved blade shape with a rounded end. This shape allows for easy mixing and application of dental materials.
- Blade size The blade size of dental spatulas can vary, and they are available in different sizes to accommodate different procedures and materials.
- Handle The handle is usually made of plastic or metal and is ergonomically designed to provide a comfortable grip during use.
- Autoclavable Most dental spatulas are autoclavable, which means they can be sterilized using high-temperature steam to ensure proper hygiene.

- Single or double-ended Dental spatulas are available as single or double-ended instruments, depending on the specific procedure and material being used.
