Knives designed to cut and dissect oral tissues during dental procedures and/or cut dental prosthetic materials used in the dental laboratory. These knives typically consist of handheld, manual instruments with a handle and an integral cutting blade at the distal end. They are available in a variety of shapes and sizes according to the procedure to be performed. Dental knives are used mainly during oral surgical procedures of teeth and/or gums; dedicated dental knives are also available for particular periodontal and/or prosthodontic procedures.
