Dental filing tool

Abstract

A dental filing tool having a handle easy to hold between fingers which arches over and secures at both ends a thin filing strip coated with some superfine abrasive material, especially but not limited to diamond dust, or alternatively a sharp cutting system along the edge or lateral surface. From hole-like openings at each end, the strip is fastened between each end of the handle with sufficient tension in the strip to create a rigid filing and grinding surface. On the outside edge of each vertical arm of the handle is a smooth flatten surface where to place fingers to hold the handle. The horizontal top arm of the handle that extends above the filing strip tapers in thickness from the top down towards the filing strip reducing in thickness to a beveled edge. The vertical arms of the handle also taper in thickness inwards towards the filing strip reducing in thickness to a beveled edge.

1 . A dental filing tool which comprises an arch shaped handle component and a strip.  
   
   
       2 . The handle component comprises a horizontal arm element with the first vertical arm attached at the first end of the horizontal arm and the second vertical arm attached at the second end of the horizontal arm forming an arch structure.  
   
   
       3 . The strip is coated with a superfine abrasive material, or sharp-edged perforations along the lateral surface.  
   
   
       4 . The strip is alternatively having a sharp cutting edge system like saw teeth.  
   
   
       5 . The strip has hole-like openings at the first and second ends.  
   
   
       6 . The strip is secured between the end of the first vertical arm and the end of the second vertical arm.  
   
   
       7 . The first end of the strip is fastened inside of the end of the first vertical arm.  
   
   
       8 . The second end of the strip is fastened inside of the end of the second vertical arm.  
   
   
       9 . The first end of the strip is embedded in the middle of the end of the first vertical arm, when the melted formable material like food grade polypropylene but not limited is injected into the molded cavity form of handle component and hardened.  
   
   
       10 . The second end of the strip is embedded in the middle of the end of the second vertical arm, when the melted formable material like food grade polypropylene but not limited is injected into the molded cavity form of handle component and hardened.  
   
   
       11 . The first and second vertical arms of the handle component have flat and smoothed surface on the outside of the arms for finger rest.
