Manufacturer

This instrument is produced by A. Titan Instruments, a manufacturer well known for high-quality dental tools made from premium-grade stainless steel, designed for durability, precision, and long-term clinical use.

Double-Ended Design

The instrument features a double-ended configuration, offering two functional working ends on a single handle. This design increases clinical efficiency by reducing instrument changes during restorative procedures.

“Double Flat” Working Ends

Both ends are designed with smooth, flat or slightly paddle/spatula-shaped blades. The two ends typically differ in size (for example, one small and one medium or large), allowing the clinician to adapt the instrument to different tooth sizes, cavity dimensions, and restoration classes.

Clinical Purpose of the Flat Shape

The flat geometry is ideal for carrying, placing, and uniformly pressing composite resin into the prepared cavity. It is especially effective on broad or flat surfaces, such as cavity floors and walls, and is well suited for layering techniques and bulk placement prior to final sculpting.

Composite Application and Adaptation

The instrument is primarily used to manipulate soft, unpolymerized (uncured) composite resin. The flat surfaces allow for:

• Tight adaptation of composite against cavity walls and matrix bands

• Even distribution and compaction of the material

• Pre-shaping of composite layers before detailed anatomical sculpting

Non-Stick Coating Technology

A signature feature of A. Titan composite instruments is the application of a non-stick coating, commonly Titanium Nitride (TiN), on the working ends.

Clinical Benefit:
This coating provides an extremely hard and ultra-smooth surface that significantly reduces composite adhesion to the instrument. As a result, it minimizes material “pull-back,” improves handling accuracy, and ensures clean, controlled composite placement.
