Restorative Carving Instrument Solid Handle 6 mm
The Restorative Carving Instrument is a double-ended hand instrument for trimming excess material and sculpting anatomical features in composite, amalgam, and wax-up restorations. Each end carries a differently profiled blade or point, giving clinicians a dedicated edge for gross reduction and a finer tip for fissure, cusp, and marginal definition within a single instrument. Precision-ground by Equate Instruments from polished stainless steel and fitted with a knurled solid handle for pen-grip stability, the carver supports controlled, low-fatigue work across direct restorations and diagnostic waxing. Delivered non-sterile and fully autoclavable for standard in-clinic sterilisation.

What is a Ward Carver used for?
A dental carver is a sharp-bladed hand instrument used to sculpt the anatomy of a restoration and trim away excess material. In the surgery, discoid-cleoid, Hollenback, Tanner, Ward and interproximal carvers shape amalgam, temporary materials and composite. In the laboratory, Le Cron, Zahle and P. K. Thomas instruments carve and build up wax patterns for crowns, inlays and dentures.
What are the types of carvers in dentistry?
The main clinical carvers are the discoid-cleoid, Hollenback and half-Hollenback, Tanner, Ward and interproximal carvers. Laboratory wax carvers include the Le Cron, Zahle and P. K. Thomas instruments.
What is an interproximal carver?
An interproximal carver, or carving knife, has a thin, sharp blade for trimming the proximal surface of a restoration. It removes overhangs at the gingival margin and flash between the teeth.

Universal Occlusal-Proximal Carver - Light Green Silicone Slim Handle
The Universal Occlusal-Proximal Carver is a double-ended restorative carver that handles both occlusal and proximal anatomy in a single instrument. One end is a pointed carving tip for pits, fissures, and line angles; the opposite end is a broader bevelled blade that sweeps cusp inclines and refines proximal contours on amalgam and packable composite. The slim light-green silicone-sleeved handle from Equate Instruments cushions the grip during sustained carving and colour-codes the instrument inside cassettes. Stainless-steel tips hold a clean edge through repeated autoclaving and resist bending under carving pressure.
