  • Dental mixing spatulas designed to mix dental cements. These instruments typically consist of a sturdy metallic (e.g., stainless steel) handheld instrument with a working distal tip that may be flat or curved. Some may have working tips at both ends. The tip may have a wider surface area to aid in the mixing of cement powders with liquids and is designed not to stick to the cement being mixed. Some dental mixing spatulas are made from plastic (used mainly for mixing glass ionomer cement) because stainless steel would react with the material being mixed. Dental cement mixing spatulas are used in the preparation of dental cements for prosthodontics procedures.
