Long Fahnestock Knife for Dental Applications

Extended Reach and Precision for Dental Plaster Work

The Long Fahnestock Knife is a specialized dental instrument designed to address the challenges of manipulating plaster and stone models with enhanced control. Its extended length provides practical reach into deep contours and hard-to-access areas of dental casts, reducing hand fatigue during detailed laboratory procedures. This tool allows practitioners to trim, carve, and smooth gypsum materials with precision, supports clean lines and accurate model preparation. By combining a balanced design with a sharp, durable blade, it facilitates efficient workflow in restorative and orthodontic applications where standard-length instruments may lack the necessary leverage or access.

Use Cases

• Trimming and contouring dental stone models with extended reach for improved ergonomics
• Carving precise margins and details in plaster casts for restorative workflows
• Smoothing rough surfaces on gypsum models to prepare for appliance fabrication
• Removing excess material from deep undercuts in complex dental impressions

Care & Handling

• Clean thoroughly after each use to remove all plaster and stone residue
• Store in a dry, protected environment to maintain instrument integrity

General use; follow facility protocols.
