It seems there might be a slight variation in the terminology. The correct term is likely “Plaster Knife” or “Plaster Spatula.” Here’s some information:

• Name: Plaster Knife or Plaster Spatula
• Design:
  • A plaster knife typically has a flat, broad blade at one end and a handle at the other.
  • The flat blade is designed for mixing and handling dental plaster or other dental materials.
• Purpose:
  • Plaster knives are commonly used in dentistry for mixing dental plaster or stone materials used in various dental procedures, including the creation of dental models.
• Material:
  • Plaster knives are often made of stainless steel or another material suitable for dental use, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of sterilization.
• Applications:
  • Dental professionals use plaster knives when working with dental impression materials to create accurate models of a patient’s teeth or oral structures.
• Usage:
  • The dentist or dental technician places the appropriate amount of dental plaster on a mixing pad and uses the plaster knife to blend and manipulate the material until it reaches the desired consistency. This mixture is then used to create dental impressions or models.

Plaster knives are essential tools in dental practices for tasks related to dental prosthetics, restorations, and orthodontics. If there are specific variations or details in the design of a particular plaster knife, consulting product specifications or contacting dental suppliers or manufacturers would provide more accurate information.
