A dental glass mortar and pestle is a heavy-duty mixing tool made of durable, shock-resistant glass (often borosilicate). It is used to crush, blend, or triturate restorative materials like amalgam alloys with mercury or to mix powders for glass ionomer cements to a perfectly uniform consistency.
Transparent Construction: Allows the dentist or assistant to visually monitor the grinding process and ensure no unmixed clumps remain. [1, 2]
Non-Porous Finish: The smooth surface prevents dental materials from being absorbed and is highly resistant to chemical corrosion and staining.
