Dental Impression & Composite Guns

Q: What Qualities Should I Look for in a Composite Gun?

A composite gun is used for a variety of dental procedures, such as filling cavities and gaps in between teeth. As such dental composite guns are commonly used instruments in most dental practices. This is why it's important that you invest in a high-quality product that's made to withstand frequent use. That said, there are certain features you should look for in a composite gun, such as: Provides good leverage during composite placement: This will help ensure the best application. Easy loading: During certain dental procedures, you may have to load and unload the composite gun quickly, so it’s important to choose one with easy loading. Ergonomic: An ergonomic design is best so that your hand won't get tired while holding it for longer dental procedures. Comfortable, controlled grip: You should feel secure holding the composite gun so that you can keep control of the compule tip during dispensing. Ideally, it will be lightweight and have an easy-to-hold trigger. Accepts all composite capsules: This will allow you to switch brands as needed. Autoclavable: It should be able to withstand high temperatures during sterilization. Can be unloaded with one hand: This will make it easier to use during procedures where your other hand is occupied.
