Cloid Discoid

Cloid Discoid

The discoid cloid is an instrument used in dentistry to make amalgam restorations on the occlusal surfaces of teeth. Its design consists of a small disc-shaped piece of metal, which is usually made of stainless steel. The main function of the discoid cloid is to give anatomical shape to the amalgam during the dental restoration process. Amalgam is a material used to repair damaged or decayed teeth, and discoid cloid helps sculpt and shape the amalgam on the occlusal surface of the tooth.

By using the discoid cloid, the dentist can shape the amalgam to perfectly fit the natural contours of the tooth and achieve a restoration that closely resembles the original structure. This is important to achieve optimal occlusion, that is, ensuring that the upper and lower teeth fit together properly when closing the mouth. The dentist uses sliding and pressing movements with the discoid cloid to sculpt the amalgam and remove any excess material. Furthermore, the end of the discoid cloid can have different shapes and sizes to adapt to the different anatomical characteristics of the teeth.
