Dental instrument depth limiter

68 devices · GMDN 65191

A dental instrument depth limiter is a small ring or cylinder designed to be attached to the working end of a dental surgical instrument, such as a drill bit, file, or reamer, to control how deeply the instrument penetrates into tooth or bone during a procedure. It helps prevent over-preparation or damage to surrounding tissues by providing a physical stop point.

These devices are typically made from biocompatible polymer materials like silicone and are intended for single-use only. As single-use devices, they are supplied sterile and discarded after one procedure to prevent cross-contamination and ensure consistent performance.
