{"product_id":"surgiworld-7-black-amalgam-knife-rkam7","title":"SurgiWorld – 7 Black Amalgam Knife","description":"\u003ch4\u003eClinical Use\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 Black Amalgam Knife is a restorative trimming knife, built with a broader, more rigid blade built to trim excess amalgam at the margin before it fully sets. It's used at the margin of a restoration to remove excess cement, flash, or overhanging material before it fully sets, leaving a flush, clean margin rather than a ledge that could trap plaque or irritate the adjacent gingiva.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTiming matters with this instrument: trimming while the material is still workable but no longer fluid gives a cleaner result than waiting until it has fully hardened, when removal requires cutting rather than simple trimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesign and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is shaped and angled for the specific material it's meant to trim - a fine edge for esthetic cement work around delicate margins, or a broader, more rigid blade where amalgam needs more decisive material removal. A balanced handle supports the light, controlled trimming stroke this stage calls for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSurgiWorld's Restorative Knives are stocked as their own category, separate from the larger surgical knives used in oral surgery procedures - a restorative operatory needs a finer, margin-focused blade for trimming cement and amalgam flash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSurgiWorld supplies this instrument to dental clinics, restorative practices, and dental schools across Canada and the USA, backed by fast replacement stock so a worn or lost instrument doesn't leave a gap in the tray setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaterial and Sterilization\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eManufactured from medical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant and rated for full autoclave sterilization without losing edge or tip definition over repeated cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul class=\"feature-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestorative trimming knife with a broader, more rigid blade built to trim excess amalgam at the margin before it fully sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemoves excess cement, flash, or overhanging material before it fully sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaves a flush margin, reducing plaque-trapping ledges or overhangs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade angle and rigidity matched to the material being trimmed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced handle for a light, controlled trimming stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SurgiWorld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67751068041530,"sku":"RKAM7","price":54.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/2975\/5194\/files\/RKAM7_7-Black-Amalgam-Knife.jpg?v=1792585373","url":"https:\/\/thedentalsolutions.ca\/products\/surgiworld-7-black-amalgam-knife-rkam7","provider":"Dental Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
