Contra-Angle

A dental contra-angle is a rotary instrument used in dentistry for procedures such as caries removal, cavity preparation, restoration polishing, and prosthesis adjustment. It connects to a micromotor for power and has a slight curve that helps access difficult areas like molars and interdental spaces. It operates at low or medium speeds and uses interchangeable burs. Many models include internal cooling systems to prevent overheating and are autoclavable for proper sterilization between patients. It is a key tool for precision and comfort in dental practice.
