Description:

The #31 LS Endo Spoon Excavator is a precision dental hand instrument specifically designed for endodontic procedures, particularly during the early stages of root canal therapy. Its primary function is to assist in the removal of pulp tissue, decayed dentin, and debris from the pulp chamber and canal openings.

This instrument features a spoon-shaped working end with a long, slender shank that allows clinicians to reach deep into the tooth structure, especially in molars and other posterior teeth. The sharpened spoon tip is ideal for scraping and lifting softened dentin and tissue remnants without damaging surrounding structures. Its thin, elongated profile enhances visibility and maneuverability, particularly when working under magnification or within narrow canals.

The #31 LS designation refers to the specific size and curvature of the spoon and shank, optimized for access and control in challenging areas. Made from high-quality stainless steel, the instrument is corrosion-resistant and built to endure repeated sterilization cycles. Its ergonomically designed handle provides a secure, non-slip grip and enhances tactile sensitivity, allowing for precise control during delicate procedures.

Clinically, the #31 LS Endo Spoon Excavator is essential during access preparation and initial debridement, helping to reduce bacterial load and prepare the canal for shaping and obturation. Its effectiveness in cleaning and clearing the pulp chamber contributes significantly to the success of endodontic treatments.

In summary, the #31 LS Endo Spoon Excavator combines reach, sharpness, and ergonomic comfort to support efficient and accurate endodontic care. It is a trusted tool for clinicians aiming to achieve clean, accessible working areas within the tooth, ultimately improving treatment outcomes.
