Dental soft-tissue coring punch, single-use

Definition

A dental instrument designed to remove with precision a circular section of oral soft tissue (e.g., gum, palatal mucosa) during dental surgery, typically to allow access to a site for drilling and dental/orthodontic implant placement without the use of a scalpel. Sometimes referred to as a mucotome, it will typically be designed with a handle at the proximal end for manual operation or for mounting into a dental power tool (e.g., contra-angle low-speed drill handpiece), and have a cylindrical hollow tube-like head with a sharp cutting at the distal end. It is typically made of high-grade stainless steel. This is a single-use device.
