It saves the time spent switching between two instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesign and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne end seats the band, and the scaler end removes cement or flash as soon as the band is in place. That order matters, because excess cement is easiest to remove cleanly before it fully sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe double-ended design keeps both tools in one hand during the banding stage of an appointment.\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\u003eBand pusher end for seating molar bands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScaler end to remove excess cement or flash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHybrid design saves instrument changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleanup immediately after seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuited to routine banding appointments\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":67751017382202,"sku":"RT818","price":59.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/2975\/5194\/files\/Band-Pusher-Scaler.webp?v=1792584704","url":"https:\/\/thedentalsolutions.ca\/products\/surgiworld-band-pusher-scaler-rt818","provider":"Dental Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
