Dental tweezers, also called college tweezers or cotton pliers, are used for grasping, placing, and removing small objects such as cotton pellets, matrix bands, or restorative materials.
Most tweezers have serrated tips for secure holding and angled shanks for better access within the oral cavity.
Straight tweezers – for general handling.
Angled tweezers – provide improved access in posterior regions.
Precise grip and ergonomic design ensure accurate material placement without slipping, supporting efficient and controlled workflow during dental procedures.
