Hilger Cheek Holder

Description

Hilger Cheek Holder

The Hilger cheek holder keeps the cheek away from the teeth and gums. It gives the clinician a clear view and room to work on the side of the mouth.

Complete holder

This item includes both the handle and the attachment. As a result, it is ready to use straight away. Spare parts are also sold separately.

Size of the Hilger cheek holder

It measures 18 cm overall. That length keeps the assistant’s hand outside the mouth. Meanwhile, the working end spreads pressure across the cheek.

Typical procedures

Dentists and oral surgeons use it for extractions, fillings and implant work. For example, it holds the cheek while the clinician reaches the back teeth. It also helps during photography.

Comfort for the patient

A broad, smooth end presses gently on the cheek. Consequently, the patient tolerates it well. Still, release it now and then during long procedures.

Using it

Place the end inside the cheek and draw it outward gently. Then hold steady while the clinician works. Also, keep the lip corner moist to avoid cracking.

Keeping spares

Busy clinics often keep a spare handle and attachment. That way, a bent part never stops a list. In addition, spares cover reprocessing time.
