Its working end is \u201cspoon-shaped,\u201d allowing the clinician to scoop or scrape material with controlled pressure. spoon excavator instruments are commonly used during cavity preparation and restorative dentistry. They may also be used during certain procedures that involve cleaning out softened or temporary materials."}
