The serrated tip is designed to stop it slipping off the band edge, and it gives the leverage needed for a tight, anatomical fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesign and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA band that is not fully seated leaves a gap at the margin where cement washes out and plaque collects. The serrated tip bites on the edge of the band so the pressure goes down along the tooth instead of sliding sideways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace the tip on the band edge, push toward the gingiva with firm, even pressure, and work around the band until it sits at the correct height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSeating Bands Well\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA well seated band starts with the right fit. Try the band on, press it down with the pusher or bite stick until it sits at the correct height on the crown, and check that it clears the opposing tooth in occlusion before it is cemented. Excess cement should be cleaned from the margins before it sets, because it traps plaque and irritates the gingiva.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the instrument tip clean between bands. Cement or resin on a pusher makes it slip and can scratch the band surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep a spare pusher or bite stick available for the day, because instruments are sterilized between patients and a banding appointment can use several bands in one visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaterial and Sterilization\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from medical grade stainless steel. Autoclavable for repeated sterilization cycles. Clean and dry the instrument after each use, and check the working ends for wear or damage before it goes into the pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul class=\"feature-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerrated tip to prevent slipping on the band edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeverage for a tight, anatomical fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-purpose band pusher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor molar and premolar bands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirm, controlled seating pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedical grade stainless steel, autoclavable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SurgiWorld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67751017349434,"sku":"RT817","price":99.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/2975\/5194\/files\/Band-Pusher.webp?v=1792584703","url":"https:\/\/thedentalsolutions.ca\/products\/surgiworld-band-pusher-rt817","provider":"Dental Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
