Dental filing tool

Abstract

A dental filing tool having a handle easy to hold between fingers which arches over and secures at both ends OF 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. The HANDLE IS MADE of two pieces WITH male and female FROM FORMABLE MATERIALS NOT LIMITED BUT LIKE PLASTICS INJECTED INTO MOLD WHICH can be snapped together into one piece with A FILING STRIP INSERTED. 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 DENTAL FILING TOOL IS DISPOSABLE WHEN THE ABRASIVE MATERIAL OF THE FILING STRIP WEARS OFF.

1 . A dental filing tool which comprises an arch shaped handle component and a strip.  
   
   
       2 . The arch shaped handle component comprises two vertically divided components.  
   
   
       3 . The first vertically divided component has cylindrical projections from its inside surface towards the second vertically divided component and the second vertically divided component has cylindrical holes according to the projections of the first vertically divided component.  
   
   
       4 . The first vertically divided component projects male snaps from its inside surface and the second vertically divided component has sockets to receive the male snaps projected from the first vertically divided component.  
   
   
       5 . The strip has hole-like openings at the first and second ends.  
   
   
       6 . The openings of the strip engage on the male snaps between the first and second vertically divided component.  
   
   
       6 . The strip is secured between the end of the first vertical arm and the end of the second vertical arm.  
   
   
       7 . The first and second vertical arms of the handle component have flat and smoothed surface on the outside of the arms for finger rest.
