Applicators
Free!
Applicators are disposable microbrushes for precise placement of liquids in the mouth. The lint free, non absorbent fiber tip holds a controlled drop without dripping. A bendable neck reaches posterior and interproximal areas. Solvent resistant materials work with etchants, adhesives, desensitizers, sealants, hemostatics and more. Color coded sizes support everything from spot etching to broad coverage. Single use design improves infection control and saves cleanup time.
Description
Applicators are disposable dental microbrushes used to place small, controlled amounts of liquid in the mouth. The tip is made of lint-free, non-absorbent fibers that hold a single drop until you touch the surface, so materials go exactly where you want them with minimal waste. A bendable neck lets clinicians angle the tip for easy access to posterior, cervical, and interproximal areas. Because they are single use, they support strict infection-control workflows and cut cleanup time.
Key features and benefits
• Non-linting, non-absorbent fiber tip for precise, drip-resistant delivery
• Bendable neck for better access and ergonomic positioning
• Solvent-resistant material compatible with common dental liquids
• Color-coded sizes for spot work or broader coverage
• Rigid yet lightweight handle for steady placement
• Single-use design to reduce cross-contamination risk
Typical uses and applications
• Applying etchants, bonding agents, primers, and desensitizers
• Delivering hemostatic solutions at the margin before impression or bonding
• Placing sealants, liners, and small amounts of cement in difficult areas
• Touching up composite stains and modifiers during finishing
• Orthodontic bonding where precise primer placement is critical
How they compare
• Versus cotton pellets: far less lint and better access in tight spaces
• Versus traditional brushes: improved drop control and less splatter
• Versus syringe tips for small sites: faster, simpler placement with fewer clogs
Best practice tips
Select the smallest size that will carry enough material. Pre-bend the neck to the needed angle. Use light dabbing motions rather than brushing. Discard after each patient.
