Cement and Insulating Base Dental Instruments

Cement and  Insulating Base Dental Instruments are used for mixing and handling restorative resin and different  temporary restorative, insulating, and pulp-capping materials.

Cement Spatulas : 

Different spatulas are available for mixing restorative materials. Some spatulas can cause discoloration in the material being mixed. The selection of a mixing spatula is not critical except while preparing a permanent anterior composite for restoration. Some of the  composite restoration material discolors easily, so always use the spatulas provided by the manufacturer when working with it. The single- ended or double ended are suitable for mixing other materials other than composites. A smaller version is used for mixing small quantities of cement.
