Titanium Plastic Filling Instruments

Description

Titanium Plastic Filling Instruments

A titanium plastic filling instrument is a thin hand instrument for carrying, packing and shaping tooth-colored restorative material. The catalogue names all four patterns on this page as titanium, and each one also appears as a component of our restorative sets. A staff member at our Georgia location inspects every instrument before it ships, so each passes a US check.

Why Clinicians Pick Titanium for Composite

Composite is sticky, and it tends to pull away from some metal surfaces as you lift the tip. Many dentists therefore keep separate titanium instruments for resin work. Also, a dedicated composite set stays free of amalgam residue. As a result, the restoration surface stays cleaner while you sculpt.

PFIT-1, PFIT-4, PFIT-S4 and Tufts 4

The catalogue describes PFIT-1, PFIT-4 and PFIT-S4 as thin plastic filling instruments in titanium. PFIT-1 and PFIT-4 are two numbered patterns, while PFIT-S4 is a further variant of the 4 pattern. Tufts 4 is the titanium version of the Tufts 4 pattern. The catalogue gives no tip measurements, so compare the photos to match each end to the cavities you restore most. For example, a clinician might choose one pattern for Class II boxes and another for anterior facial contours.

Material Notes and Defect Cover

These instruments are sold as titanium, per their catalogue names. For context, our stainless steel range follows the ASTM F899 specification. The box arrives unsterilized, so before the first composite case, clean the tips gently and run a sterilizer cycle. In addition, all four titanium patterns are protected for three years against manufacturing defects.

Compare metals via the ASTM F899 stainless steel standard, browse Diagnostic, Periodontal & Restorative Instruments, or add modified plastic filling instruments for amalgam and liners. The FAQs cover orders.

Titanium filling instruments are for trained dental professionals. Gentle handling guidance appears on care and sterilization, and transit times on shipping and delivery.
