Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spoon excavator is the best choice for removing decay from the cavity preparation as it has a rounded scoop-like tip that is ideal for scooping out soft decayed dentin and debris without damaging the healthy enamel walls of the cavity. Enamel hatchet, hoe, Wedelstaedt chisel, and Binangle chisel are used for smoothing and shaping the cavity walls, but not for removing decay.
