?:definition
  • Scissors designed to cut tissue and/or prosthetic material during dental procedures. These scissors are typically handheld, manual instruments with two metallic (e.g., stainless steel) blades with sharp edges that slide past each other (i.e., shearing action). The blades are usually attached to handles with the proximal end conformed as a ring to facilitate holding and operating with the fingers; both parts are joined by a swivel pin in the center. Heavy-duty dental scissors are used for cutting and/or trimming dental prosthetic materials such as plates, crowns, and collars; dental scissors with one or both serrated blades are also used in dental surgery to trim the gums and/or other soft tissues.
