FAQ – Restorative Dental Instruments | Fortec Canada

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our restorative dental instruments, filling tools, composite instruments, burnishers, and more.

01 What types of restorative dental instruments does Fortec carry?

Fortec's restorative dental instruments collection (73 products) covers the full range of tools used in cavity preparation, filling placement, crown work, and dental waxing. Categories include amalgam carriers, angle formers, chisels, titanium composite instruments, crown instruments, filling instruments, gingival retractors, hatchets, margin trimmers, paper forceps, spatulas, wax carvers, wax spatulas, P.K Thomas waxing instruments, and economical wax instruments. Pricing ranges from $11.00 for spatulas up to $49.00 for the Dental Crown Remover Plier.

02 What is the difference between filling instruments, burnishers, and composite instruments?

These instruments each serve a distinct role in restorative procedures. Filling instruments (e.g., 8A Filling Instrument, $15.95) are used to place and pack restorative materials such as amalgam or composite into a prepared cavity. Burnishers (e.g., 21B Burnisher, $15.95; Filling Instrument 26/27 Double Ended Ball Burnisher, $15.95) are used after placement to smooth and adapt the surface of the restoration, improving marginal seal and final contour. Titanium composite instruments (e.g., CIPC, BV1, P1/2, $18.15–$21.45) feature a non-stick titanium coating specifically designed for handling composite resin — preventing material from adhering to the instrument during placement and shaping.

03 What titanium composite instruments does Fortec offer and how do I choose between them?

Fortec carries a range of titanium composite instruments priced at $18.15–$21.45, each with a different tip geometry suited to specific restorative tasks. The CIPC ($18.15) and CIPCTF ($18.15) are carving and placement instruments for general composite work. The PUW/E4 ($18.15) and PAP/W4 ($18.15) combine packing and carving ends for versatile use in a single instrument. The P1/2 ($21.45), BV1 ($21.45), BC1/2 ($21.45), and B21B ($21.45) are premium double-ended titanium instruments with varied tip shapes — flat, ball, and condenser ends — allowing dentists to pack, sculpt, and adapt composite in different cavity geometries. Selecting the right instrument depends on cavity class, access, and whether you need more packing or shaping capability.

04 What are gingival retractors used for, and which ones does Fortec stock?

Gingival retractors are used to gently displace gum tissue away from the tooth margin, improving visibility and access during restorative procedures such as crown preparation, composite placement, and impression-taking. Fortec stocks two models: the Kincheloe 1 Gingival Retractor ($24.20), a slender single-ended instrument designed for fine tissue displacement in tight interproximal areas, and the 2 Meinershagen Gingival Retractor ($22.00), a broader instrument suited for retracting tissue over a wider margin, particularly useful in cervical and subgingival restorative work. Both are stainless steel and autoclavable.

05 What spatulas does Fortec offer for restorative use, and when is each used?

Fortec carries three spatulas suited for different chairside and laboratory tasks. The Spatula 5 ($11.00) is a standard stainless steel mixing spatula used to mix dental cements, impression materials, and restorative compounds on a mixing pad. The 6 Long Blade Spatula ($20.90) features an extended, wide blade for mixing larger quantities of material or working with thicker consistencies such as zinc oxide or glass ionomer base. The Wax Spatula 7 ($11.00) and Wax Spatula 31 ($11.00) are laboratory wax spatulas used to soften, shape, and manipulate dental wax during crown, bridge, and prosthetic waxing procedures.

06 What crown instruments does Fortec carry and what procedures are they used for?

Fortec's crown instruments include the Crown Spreader Universal Laboratory Instruments ($25.30), used in dental laboratories to seat and adapt crown margins evenly during try-in and cementation, and the Dental Crown Remover Plier ($49.00), a chairside instrument used to dislodge provisionals or existing crowns without damaging the preparation beneath. The Crown Remover Plier uses a controlled impact mechanism that distributes force evenly around the crown margin — safer than improvised removal techniques that risk fracturing the tooth or damaging adjacent restorations. Both instruments are essential for practices performing crown preparation, provisionalization, and final cementation.

07 What is the Miller Articulating Paper Forceps used for, and why is it a restorative essential?

The Miller Articulating Paper Forceps ($15.73) is used to hold articulating paper during occlusal bite analysis — an indispensable step after every restoration, crown, or adjustment. The forceps position the paper precisely between the arches so the patient can bite and mark high contact points on the restoration surface. The Miller design features a spring-loaded mechanism with fine, angled beaks that allow placement in posterior areas without obscuring the clinician's view. Checking and correcting occlusion immediately after a restoration prevents premature contacts that could cause sensitivity, restoration fracture, or temporomandibular discomfort.

08 What restorative instrument categories does Fortec carry for cavity preparation?

For cavity preparation, Fortec's restorative collection includes Chisels for cutting and cleaving enamel along specific planes, Hatchets for removing unsupported enamel and refining cavity walls with a hoe-like cutting motion, Angle Formers for sharpening line angles and creating precise internal cavity geometry, and Margin Trimmers for bevelling and smoothing gingival and enamel margins to improve the marginal seal of the final restoration. These hand instruments are used alongside rotary burs and are especially valued in clinics that perform minimal-intervention or hand-preparation restorative techniques. All are available through the Restorative collection.

09 Does Fortec ship restorative instruments across Canada?

Yes — Fortec offers free Canada-wide shipping on all orders over $195 before taxes. Their warehouse is located in Mississauga, Ontario (1011 Hualtain Court, Unit 14, L4W 1W1), serving dental clinics, laboratories, dental schools, and distributors from coast to coast. Because restorative instruments are frequently used across multiple procedures daily, many clinics consolidate instrument reorders — combining restorative tools with periodontal or surgical instruments — to reach the free shipping threshold efficiently. Full details are available on the Shipping Policy page.

10 What is Fortec's return policy, and how do I contact customer care?

Full details are outlined in Fortec's Return Policy. For order issues or product queries, the customer care team is reachable by phone at 1-855-790-7779 (Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–4:00 PM) or by email at info@fortec.ca. It is recommended to inspect instruments on arrival and contact the team promptly if there is a concern.
