Mallets

Mallets in dentistry are hand instruments used to apply controlled force to chisels, osteotomes, or other instruments during oral and maxillofacial surgeries. They are typically made of stainless steel or have a combination of metal heads with non-marring surfaces like nylon or brass to prevent damage to instruments. Dental mallets are designed to deliver precise tapping or striking motions for bone shaping, splitting, or removing, ensuring accuracy without excessive trauma to surrounding tissues. They are autoclavable for proper sterilization.
