A Dental Gauge Caliper is a precision instrument commonly used in dentistry and orthodontics to measure the dimensions of teeth, dental prosthetics, or spaces between teeth. It provides highly accurate measurements, which are essential for ensuring proper fit and alignment in dental treatments.
Common Uses:
1. Tooth Measurement: Determining the width, length, and thickness of teeth.
2. Gap Assessment: Measuring interdental spaces for orthodontic wires or dental prosthetics.
3. Prosthetic Fabrication: Assisting in the design and fitting of crowns, bridges, and dentures.
4. Orthodontics: Measuring for brackets, wires, and other orthodontic appliances.
Types:
- Digital Calipers: Display measurements digitally for precision and ease of use.
- Manual Calipers: Traditional models with a scale for manual reading.
Materials:
Dental gauge calipers are typically made of stainless steel or durable plastic to ensure hygiene, corrosion resistance, and durability.
