This instrument showcases a series of dental amalgam carvers, specifically Hollenback and Ward models, used in restorative dentistry.
The central instrument is a double-ended Hollenback carver with a knurled handle for grip, designed for shaping and trimming dental amalgam.
Surrounding the instrument are illustrations of various tip styles: Ward tips (Fig. 1, 1S, 2) with more angular blade designs and Hollenback tips (Fig. 1/2, 3, 3S) with curved or hooked ends.
These tools allow for precise manipulation of restorative materials around the margins and occlusal surfaces of dental restorations.
