    Contouring Pliers Designed by Dr. J. H. Prothero Desinrned bv Dr. Hart J. Goslee Suiigestcd l)y Dr. .T. D. No. 135 The beaks are foiiiicd witli an angle, by wliieh the nianiimlating liand is taken out of the range of vision. i)erinitting the operator a view of the work which i-^ licing contoured. Rounded contact sur- faces permit of the convex con- touring of crown bands without marring the axial surface of the hand material. Still another ad- vantage is the shaping of the ti])s of the beaks so that by ])lacing them inside of the band op])osite the points where ap]>roximal con- tact is to be made, and o])ening the handles, the contact desired is easily secured. Price $l.f.O Xo. 130 Dr. Goslee says tl'at, as the shaping should be done upon the edge of the band before the cusp is attached, all of the necessary and artistic results can be accom- plished with pliers the beaks of which are straight, tapering, and come closely together. The Pliers here shown, he says 'will meet the general requirements when prop- erly used. The rounded edges and one smooth beak prevent defacing the gold, while the flat surface and one serrated beak, and the taper- ing form for stretching, add to their general usefulness. Price $1.G0 No. 137 A modification of the Rey- nolds Pliers is offered in the device here shown. The beaks are made narrower, with slightly less curvature, a conformation found useful in forming convex or con- cave surfaces in all sizes of collars. Its advantages are well demonstrated in form- ing the approximo-cervical portions of bicuspid and molar bands to obtain the pro])er clearance between the teeth at that point. Price .$1.00
