The set of 5 Spade Proximators includes all the configurations of the Spade tippped Proximator needed to access the entire mouth.
When the Proximators were introduced the straight Sharpened Spade was recommended for creation of a purchase point for the other Proximators. The very fine and sharp point is incredibly well suited to engage and advance into tight spaces. However it soon became clear the the Sharpened Spade Proximators was the favorite of our customers. The issue of posterior access was addressed with the later introduction of the Mesial and Distal Spade Proximators for the maxillary arch and the Left and Right (East/West) Spade Proximators for the mandible.
The Set of 5 Spade Proximators provides access to the entire mouth and includes:
