1. Foreword In recent years, in dental hand instruments field we have observed a lack of novelty useful for the dentist and his team. Some geometrical change of the working tips, variants to the geometries of the handles, use of different material of construction, some variations in the form and retention of the handles but nothing more. 2. Simplicity and effectiveness Crisis, decline in marked demand, manufacturing costs: many factors have contributed not to push big news. An Italian company presented a hadle that brakes the mold of existing ones. With an eye to the safety of the dentist, assistant and hygenist, has realized a handle longer than the existing ones on the market today. Tradizionally the handles of the instruments that put at risk the operator cuts and punctures like scalers, curettes, probes are 100-105 mm length. In rare case 110 mm length. This new handle is about 115 mm length considering the external steel parts, on which the ends are fixed. 3....

1. Premessa Nel campo degli strumenti dentali manuali in questi ultimi anni abbiamo osservato una assenza di novità utili all’odontoiatra e alla sua equipe. Qualche modifica geometrica alle punte lavoranti, varianti alle geometrie delle impugnature, impiego di diversi materiali di costruzione, qualche variazione nelle forme e ritenzioni dei manici, ma niente di più. 2. L’uovo di colombo La crisi, il calo della richiesta di mercato, i costi di fabbricazione, molteplici fattori hanno contribuito a non spingere verso grandi novità. Un azienda italiana ha presentato un manico che rompe gli schemi di quelli esistenti. Con un occhio rivolto alla sicurezza dell’odontoiatra, assistente, igienista, ha realizzato un manico semplicemente di lunghezza superiore rispetto ai manici esistenti oggi sul mercato. Come dire… “l’uovo di Colombo”. Tradizionalmente i manici degli strumenti che pongono l’operatore a rischio tagli e punture, come curettes, scalers, sonde, sono lung...
