Function of the Mouth Mirror

• Providing indirect vision of any part of the oral cavity.
• To provide indirect illumination on the gums and teeth where direct light does not reach.
• To retract the lips, cheek and tongue.
• Viewing the back of the molar teeth, especially the last molars and the gum, tartar problems behind the last tooth.

The mouth mirrors are either made with the handle and the head attached to each other, and the entire piece has to be replaced when the image clarity does not remain the same, or they are even made with the head screwed into the handle and only the head can be replaced on the same handle later on, The mirror head is a little angled, making it easier for dentists to send into the sulcal regions between the teeth and cheek and provide the indirect vision.

The most common used mouth mirror are the No.4 mirrors, and the No 3 mirror is the commonly used one when a smaller area is accessible and operable, and even when a rubber dam is placed and there is little access for the mouth mirror to be placed and provide the vision and illumination.
