Dental mirrors are used in every dental examination. They allow dentists gain indirect vision, reflect light into dark areas, and retract soft tissues such as the cheeks, tongue, and lips.
By enhancing visibility, mirrors help dentists accurately identify caries, plaque, calculus, fractures, and other oral conditions.
Plane mirrors – provide standard reflection with minimal distortion.
Concave mirrors – magnify the image, useful for detailed inspection.
Front Surface mirrors - to produce a clear, distortion-free image for accurate diagnoses and precise work.
Dental mirrors improve visibility in hard-to-reach areas, reduce the need for repositioning, and aid in precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
The mouth mirror has a wide range of uses. The most important functions are allowing indirect vision by the dentist, reflecting light onto desired surfaces, and retraction of soft tissues.
