Spoon Excavator No 18 – 2/2.5mm

Westcott N.21 (18 Spoon) CDT-C-539

Tactile Authority for Controlled Caries Removal and Cavity Preparation

In restorative dentistry, the goal is always to be as conservative as possible. The CDT-C-539 Westcott N.21 Spoon Excavator is engineered for clinicians who prioritize tactile feedback. With its dual 2 mm and 2.5 mm spoon-shaped ends, this instrument allows for the efficient, non-mechanical removal of soft carious dentin, ensuring you only remove what is necessary while preserving the integrity of the sound tooth structure.

Country of Origin: Oman

Designed for Access and Finesse

The Westcott N.21 pattern features a specialized angulation that excels in the “blind spots” of a preparation. Whether you are cleaning the gingival floor of a deep Class II box or navigating the axial walls of a molar, the curvature of the shank provides the leverage needed to “scoop” out debris without obstructing your line of sight.

The spoon tips are micro-honed to a surgical sharpness. This allows for a smooth, “chatter-free” excavation, giving you the sensitivity to feel the “stick” of decay and the hardness of the underlying dentin, which is critical in deep caries management to avoid unnecessary pulp exposure.

Craftsmanship: The Durable Choice

An excavator is a high-utility tool that faces constant use and rigorous sterilization. The CDT-C-539 is forged from premium-grade surgical stainless steel. The metallurgy is specifically chosen to maintain a sharp, hard edge over time, resisting the dulling that often occurs with lower-quality steel after repeated autoclave cycles.

Why the CDT-C-539 Belongs in Your Restorative Tray

Dual Spoon Geometry (2 mm / 2.5 mm): Offers the versatility to manage everything from conservative pediatric preps to large occlusal excavations.
Westcott N.21 Angulation: Expertly contoured to provide vertical leverage in posterior segments and difficult-to-reach proximal spaces.
High-Tactile Handle: The ergonomic, textured grip ensures a light but secure hold, allowing you to sense subtle changes in tooth density.
Sharp, Precision-Ground Tips: Designed to “shear” soft decay cleanly, reducing the need for high-speed burs in sensitive areas.
Authentic Engineering: A rugged, dependable build that balances professional aesthetics with long-term clinical performance.

Primary Clinical Applications

Caries Excavation: Manual removal of infected dentin to maximize pulp protection.
Cavity Floor Refinement: Clearing debris and smoothing the internal anatomy of a preparation.
Temporary Material Removal: Effortlessly lifting out temporary fillings or cements during follow-up appointments.
Deep Preparation Work: Safely exploring the floor of deep cavities where high-speed instruments may be too aggressive
