In dentistry, absorbent tips are commonly used to remove excess moisture from the oral cavity during dental procedures. They are also used to apply or remove dental materials such as bonding agents, etchants, or other solutions.
Absorbent tips designed for dental use are typically made from soft, non-linting materials such as cotton or foam. They come in a range of sizes and shapes to suit different areas of the mouth, and may be designed with angled or tapered tips for improved access.
Dental absorbent tips may be used in a variety of procedures, including dental cleanings, fillings, crown preparations, and other restorative or cosmetic treatments. They may also be used to dry the oral cavity during impression-taking or other procedures that require a dry field.
When using dental absorbent tips, it’s important to follow proper infection control procedures to prevent the spread of infectious agents. This may include using disposable tips or sterilizing reusable tips between uses. Your dental professional can provide guidance on the appropriate use and disposal of dental absorbent tips.
