INTRODUCTIONTerm “instrument” refers ‘to a tool, device or implement used for a
specific purpose or type of work.’
They can be used to examine,clean,cut,& restore teeth. The two main types are-
a.Hand instruments-which include a large group of instruments that are hand held when used.
b.Rotary instruments- are operated in a handpiece which in turn is hand held.
Cutting instrument generally implies, unless otherwise specified ,a hand held instrument used to cut, plane, or cleave tooth structure during the prepration of a cavity to receive a restoration or other treatment.

HISTORY OF HAND CUTTING INSTRUMENTS
When Dr.Jonathen Taft wrote his book of operative dentistry in 1868,cutting procedures on tooth enamel and dentin were carried out using thick bulky chisels and excavators. They were heavy-handled made up of wood, ivory & inferior metals and were as wide as 1\4 inch at the cutting edge .
Chisel was used to gain entrance to the carious dentin which was then removed by the hand excavators .
![Page 6: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Access to some interproximal lesions was gained by seperation of the teeth with an assortment of wedges or mechanical seperators.
They were made of stainless steel and were difficult to keep sharp , the problem was partly solved at the end of nineteenth century by the use use of carborandum discs and stones.
With their large heavy handles and inferior metal alloys in their blades they were cumbersome, awkward to use and ineffective in
many situations.
There was no uniformity of manufacturing or nomenclature.Many dentists made there own hand instruments for specific needs.
With the subsequent development of the dental handpiece in 1871 there has been a drastic decline in the use of hand instruments. The present trend is to use replaceable bladed or abrasive instruments held in rotary hand pieces.

MATERIALS USED FOR HAND CUTTING INSTRUMENT
1) STEEL - -An alloy of chromium-15-23%, carbon-0.7-1.1% iron-balance -Chromium reduces the corroding tendency by oxide layer deposition on its surface
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
-Carbon steel - sharpness - if unprotected corrodes. -if dropped fractures easily. - more sensitive to chemicals.-Stainless steel -superior corrosion - looses keen edge during resistance in most condition .
2) MONEL metal – -An alloy of nickel-67% copper-28% iron-5% -Markedly resistant to acids and super heated steam
use, much more quickly .

2) Nichrome-
-An alloy of nickel-60-80%
chromium12-20%
iron-0-26%
ADV - can be subjected to high degree of temperature.
does not oxidize easily.
DISADV -but does not readily maintain a sharp edge.
3) STELLITE-
-An alloy of cobalt- 65-90%
chromium -10-35%
tungsten,molybednum,iron - small quantities.
ADV - high resistance to action of acids.
- higher strength maintains cutting edge.

Heat treatment of steel
Hardening heat treatment - steel is heated to 15000 c in oxygen free environment and quenched immediately by plunging into cold water. - In this state steel is extremely brittle.
Tempering - is the process of making steel tougher and less brittle. - steel is heated to 1760 C for one hour and then plunged into cold salt water (or) mercury.
Annealing -also called softening heat treatment. - is the process of heating steel to dull or incipient redness & cooling slowly.

PARTS OF HAND CUTTING INSTRUMENTS
Parts of instrument
![Page 18: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
DESIGN CHARECTERISTICS OF HAND CUTTING INSTRUMENTS
Hand instruments regardless of use are composed of 3 parts-
1) Handle/ Shaft-for grasping the instrument. factors to be considered while handle selection- a.weight- hollow-increase tactile transfer. -solid-increase hand fatigue. b.diameter- small-decrease control,
increase fatigue. - large-restrict movement in inaccessible areas
c.serrations- knurled-maximize control. smooth-increase muscle fatigue.
![Page 19: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
SHANK The shank serves to connect the handle to the working end of the instrument They are normally smooth, round and tapered. Any angulation in the instrument is placed at the shaft.
Two Types of instruments
A) If the handle, shank and blade are all made of one piece of steel, the instruments are known as long handled instruments.
B) If the shank and blade or nib are separate from the handle and are intended to be screwed into it the instrument is known as a cone socket instrument.
![Page 20: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
BLADE / NIB
The working end of the cutting instrument is called the blade whereas the working end of the non-cutting instrument is called nib. Face is the end of the nib or working surface. It maybe plain or serrated. Cutting edge is the working part of the instrument. It is in the form of a bevel with different shapes.
- Blade angle is defined as the angle between the long axis of the blade and the long axis of the shaft.
- Cutting edge angle is defined as an angle between the margins of the cutting edge and the long axis of the shaft.
![Page 21: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
INSTRUMENT FORMULA1st no. -Indicates the width of the blade or primary cutting edge in tenths of a mm.
-2nd no. -Indicates the primary cutting edge angle. -Measured from a line parallel to the long axis of the instrument handle in clockwise centigrade -If the edge is located perpendicular to the blade then it is omitted.
-3rd no. - Blade length in mm.
-4th no. -Indicates the blade angle, relative to the long axis of the . handle in clockwise centigrade.
Example -Binangle hatchet-15-8-12( 3 unit formula) -Distal GMT-12-92-10-8(4 unit formula)
![Page 22: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Dental Instrument Gauge Boley gauge is valuable for measuring instrument blades
condenser points, drills, burs, teeth, in comparing measurements, in restoring angles of teeth , in selecting artificial teeth.
The smaller gradation on the principle bar are in mm used to measure the length of the blade.
Gradations of the smaller bar is in 1/10th of mm and is used to measure width of the blade.
Circular head has 100 divisions-centigrades for measuring angles.
![Page 23: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Method:- Place the instrument handle on the principle bar of the gauge, parallel with the lengthwise line and while keeping the blade parallel with one of the gradations of the circular head. This gives the angle of the blade with the shaft in centigrades.
![Page 24: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Instrument Design Direct cutting and lateral cutting instruments
a. Single planed instruments:
- Force is applied in the same plane as that of the blade and handle. - They have curves or angles in the shank but in the same plane as the handle. - Used for direct and lateral cutting.
b. Double planed instrument:
- In lateral cutting instruments the force is applied at a right angle to the plane of the blade and handle. - They have a curved blade and are called double planed instruments. - Used only for lateral cutting.
Example:- GMT and spoon excavator.
![Page 25: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Contra-angling:-
-To gain access many instruments have the shank bent at one or more points. - Accordingly, the working point is moved out of line with the axis of the handle. If this occurs more than 3mm from the handle axis the instrument becomes out of balance in lateral cutting motion and the force will be required to keep it from rotating.
- To solve this problem the working end is kept within 3mm from the axis of the handle .This principle of instrument design is called contra-angling.
- In addition to balance contra-angling also provides better operating acess and a clearer view in the field.

INSTRUMENT BALANCE &SHARPNESS
Thinner cross-section more pressure
more efficient cutting
Proper balance optimal cutting with minimal effort

IDENTIFICATION OF INSTRUMENTS
DIRECT CUTTING INSTRUMENTS
When the instrument is held with the cutting edge down and pointing away from the operator and if the bevel appears on the right side it is a right instruments
LATERAL CUTTING INSTRUMENTS
When the instrument is held with the cutting edge pointing away ,the instrument having the curve of the blade directed to the right it is a right instrument

There are 5 grasps used with hand instrument-
HAND INSTRUMENT TECHNIQUES
standard pen grip
- Instrument is held b/w thumb and index finger and medial part of
middle finger is used to control its movements
- not commonly used.
![Page 76: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
-most commonly used grasp.
- the pads of the thumb, index and middle fingers contact the instrument while the tip of the ring or little finger are placed on the near by tooth surface of the same arch as a rest.
2 MODIFIED PEN GRASP
![Page 77: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
- the pad of the middle finger is placed near the topside of the instrument and by this finger, working with wrist and forearm ,cutting and cleaving pressure is generated on the blade. - useful in mandibular arch
![Page 78: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
2 ) INVERTED PEN GRASP
Here the finger position are the same as modified pen grasp however the hand is rotated so that the palm faces more towards the operator.
Used mostly for tooth preparation of anterior teeth.
INVERTED PEN GRASP .Palm faces more towards operator.The rest is similar to that shown for modified pen grasp.
![Page 79: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
3 PALM AND THUMB APPROACH
• Handle is placed in the palm of the hand and grasped by all the fingers ,while the thumb is free of the instrument and the rest is provided by supporting the tip of the thumb on a nearby tooth
Palm – and thumb grasp.This grasp has limited use, such as preparing incisal retention in a class iii preparation on a maxillary incisor .The rest is tip of the thumb on tooth in the same arch.
![Page 80: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Used when operating upon maxillary teeth.
Provides heavy force over a limited range of movement but with greater control than the pen grip.
![Page 81: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
4 MODIFIED PALM AND THUMB GRASP
Used when it is feasible to rest the thumb on the teeth being prepared or the adjacent teeth.
The handle of the instrument is held by all fingers whose pads press the handle against the distal area of the palm.
Used in maxillary arch, best adapted when approaching
from rear chair side position. Modified palm-and –thumb grasp. This modification allows greater ease of instrument movement and more control against slippage during thrust stroke compared to palm-and- thumb grasp .The rest is tip of thumb on tooth being prepared or adjacent tooth. Note how instrument is braced against pad and end joint of thumb.
![Page 82: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
RESTS AND GAURDSProper instrument grasp must include a firm rest to steady the hand
during the operative procedure.
a. Rests for modified pen or inverted pen grasp:- The ring finger is placed on a tooth or teeth in the same arch as
close to the operating site as possible.
b. Rests for palm and thumb grasp:- The tip of the thumb is placed on the tooth being operated on, on
an adjacent tooth or a convenient area of the same arch.
c. Indirect rests. Control gained by using opposite hand resting on a stable oral structure.
Gaurds:- They are used to protect soft tissues
from contact with sharp cutting or abrasive instruments.
![Page 83: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
SHARPENING OF HAND INSTUMENTS
• Instruments with dull cutting edges cause more pain, prolong operative
time, are less controllable and reduce quality and precision in tooth
preparation. It is therefore essential that all cutting instruments be
sharp.PRINCIPLES OF SHARPENING
a Done only after the instrument has been cleaned and sterilized.
b. Proper bevel angle and desired angle of the cutting edge to the blade should be maintained.
c. Light pressure against the stem should be used to minimize frictional heat.
![Page 84: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
d. Rest/guide should be used
e. Minimal material from the blade should be removed.
f. Unleveled side of the blade should be lightly honed.
g. After sharpening, the instruments have to be resterilized.
h. Sharpening stone should be kept clean and free of metal cutting.
![Page 85: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
SHARPNESS TEST
A. PLASTIC STICK TEST
Sharpness of an instrument can be tested by lightly resting the cutting edge on a hard plastic surface. If the instrument digs in during an attempt to slide the instrument forward over the surface the instrument is sharp, if it slides it is dull.
![Page 86: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
B. VISUAL INSPECTION
• To test sharpness instrument is held under a magnifying glass in bright light ,& rotated until the edge is facing the light
• If light is reflected of the edge then the instrument is dull
![Page 87: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
MECHANICAL TECHNIQUES
a. RECIPROCATING HONING SHARPNER
The blade is placed against the steady rest and proper angle of the cutting edge of the blade is established before starting.
Trace of metal debris on the face of a flat hem along the length of the cutting edge is indication that the entire cutting edge is contributing the hem.
![Page 88: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
b. HANDPIECE STONES
are used for instruments with curved blades, especially for inside curves of the blade.
-They are mounted silicon carbide and aluminium oxide stones with straight and contra-angled handpiece.
-
![Page 89: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Disadv.:-
a. It is difficult to produce a flat cutting surface. b. Inconsistent results due to speed variables. c. Lack of rests and guides
The handpiece should be run at a low speed with the instrument held lightly in a modified pen grasp and the little fingers of each hand touching each other acting as a rest.
Overheating is avoided and the use of lubricant or coolant is desireable.
![Page 90: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
STATIONARY STONE TECHNIQUES
- Stone should be atleast 2” wide and 5” long - Most frequently used sharpening equipment consists of a block or stick of
abrasive material called stone. -Stationary stones are also called oilstones since oil is a commonly used
lubricant.
Available as:- a. Fine grit, for final sharpening b. Grained, for curved edges c. Cylindrical, for concave edges d. Tapered, for curved edges
Stones are made up of natural or synthetic materials like:- a. Arkansas stone (microcrystalline quartz) b. Silicon carbide c. Aluminium oxide d. Diamond
![Page 91: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
SHARPENING OF CHISELS, HATCHETS AND HOES
a. The instrument is held in modified pen grasp.
b. The blade is placed perpendicular to the stem.
c. The correct bevel is established.
d. The instrument is moved back and forth with the force from the shoulder coming along the stone or the stone is moved back and forth while maintaining a constant position.
![Page 92: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
SHARPENING OF DISCOID/CLEOID
Similar to excavator , to hone the flat inside surface of the blade ,a small cylindrical stone is passed back & froth over the surface.
![Page 93: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
SHARPENING OF GMT
• It requires more orientation of the cutting edge, palm
and thumb grasp is used for sharpening.
![Page 94: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
SHARPENING OF AMALGAM/GOLD KNIFE
• a. Blade is placed on the stone with the fulcrum of the blade and shank immediately over the edge of the stone.
• b. The blade is tilted to an acute angle with the stone, and the stroke is straight along the stone and towards the edge of the blade.
![Page 95: Hand Cutting Instruments](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102509/55cf9a40550346d033a0fea7/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
SHARPENING OF SPOON AND DISCOID EXCAVATORS
a. spoon is placed at the far end of the stone with the handle pointing towards the operator.
b. instrument is pulled along the stone towards the operator, the handle is rotated gradually away from the operator until it is pointing away from the operator at the end of the stroke.
c. same motion is repeated till the edge is honed.
d. To hone the flat inside surface of the blade, a small stone is passed back and forth over the surface.
