Retractors
A Dental Retractor is any piece of examination that is used to move organs or tissue aside. A dental retractor is used by dentists and oral surgeons to move the cheeks, lips, and tongue out of the way so the mouth and teeth are fully exposed. There are a few different types of retractors that dental professionals use to hold specific parts of the mouth aside. They can choose between handheld or hands-free models as well. They can also opt for disposable retractors or those made from steel and plastic that can be sterilized and used again.
There are several different kinds of dental retractors. For example, a dental retractor can be designed to primarily hold the lips back from the front teeth. A different kind can pull the sides of the mouth and cheeks aside. When a retractor is used as surgical equipment during oral surgery, it will also sometimes serve as a tongue retractor; some styles have a small bar or shield that holds the tongue down. This keeps the patient’s tongue from getting in the dentist’s way and can help prevent accidental injury to the tongue.
