Composite Instruments by Stage of Use

• Placement Pluggers — Composite pluggers (condensers) push and seat incremental layers of packable composite into the cavity preparation. Choose flat-ended pluggers for horizontal increments and ball-ended or curved pluggers for adapting into the pulpal floor and axial walls.
• Contouring and Shaping Instruments — Composite spatulas and flat plastic instruments shape the occlusal anatomy and proximal contours before light-curing. Gold-tipped composite instruments prevent composite from sticking to the instrument surface -- the titanium nitride coating allows clean composite lift without smearing.
• Burnishers — Ball burnishers and smooth-ended burnishers smooth the composite surface and adapt marginal ridges before curing. Burnishing after each increment -- not after final cure -- gives the best surface smoothness and reduces finishing time.
• Carvers — Composite carvers define final cusp anatomy, embrasures and interproximal contours after the final cured increment. Use composite carvers before final light cure for best results -- carving fully cured composite risks creating subsurface voids at the margins.
• Finishing Instruments — Composite finishing instruments (Sof-Lex strips, composite knives) refine occlusal contacts and interproximal margins. Composite knives and interproximal strips remove excess composite overhangs at the gingival margin before rotary finishing with discs or points.
• Instrument Coating and Anti-Stick — Gold-tipped or PTFE-coated composite instruments dramatically reduce composite adhesion and dragging during placement. Avoid chrome-plated instruments with composite -- chrome plating is prone to micro-scratching that allows composite adhesion even after thorough cleaning.

Composite Instruments by Function

How to Select a Composite Instrument Set

1. Identify the restoration types performed -- anterior cosmetic, posterior Class II, or both.
2. Start with a flat plugger and a curved spatula as the core two-instrument placement set.
3. Add a ball burnisher for smoothing increments before light-cure.
4. Include a carver for defining occlusal anatomy and a composite knife for marginal finishing.
5. Choose gold-tipped or PTFE-coated instruments to minimise composite adhesion and dragging.
