23 Hoe

Precision Carving and Contouring with the 23 Hoe

The 23 Hoe is a specialized dental hand instrument designed for precise carving, contouring, and planing of restorative materials. Featuring a double-ended design with angled blades, this tool allows clinicians to access difficult-to-reach areas within the oral cavity while maintaining optimal visibility and control. The sharp, beveled edges facilitate smooth removal of excess material and refinement of anatomical details in amalgam or composite restorations. By providing distinct working angles, the 23 Hoe supports efficient workflow during restorative procedures, enabling practitioners to achieve seamless margins and natural tooth morphology. Its balanced construction supports comfortable handling during detailed operative tasks, contributing to consistent clinical results.

Use Cases

• Carving and shaping amalgam or composite restorations to match natural tooth anatomy
• Planing and smoothing rough surfaces of restorative materials for refined finishes
• Removing excess material from interproximal areas and marginal ridges
• Contouring occlusal surfaces to establish proper bite alignment and function

Care & Handling

• Clean thoroughly immediately after use to remove debris and biological material
• Store in a dry, protected environment to prevent damage to cutting edges
