Dental restoration retention pin

Dental restoration retention pins are small, threaded components designed to anchor dental restorations like fillings or crowns within a tooth. They provide stability by being inserted into pre-drilled holes and secured via threading, friction, or adhesive, ensuring the restoration stays in place during chewing and daily use.

These pins are typically regulated as medical devices based on their intended use and materials, often requiring compliance with dental safety standards. They are commonly supplied as single-use or reusable items, depending on the manufacturer’s design and local regulatory classifications, though reusable versions are less common in this category.
