Fig. 3
Ø20 mm
Small mirror, sharper view. The NES-1126 brings magnifying optics to the compact 20mm Fig. 3 head — a size clinicians typically reach for when working posterior teeth, treating pediatric patients, or navigating mouths where a large mirror head simply doesn’t fit comfortably.
What makes this one worth stocking separately from the plain version: the magnifying surface offers a slightly enlarged view of tooth structure, which can make a real difference when checking for hairline fractures, early-stage decay, or restoration margins in tight spaces where lighting and angle already work against you.
Note that this is a plain-stem mirror (not cone-socket), so it fits standard friction-style mouth mirror handles rather than threaded ones — worth checking your existing handle inventory before ordering in bulk.
A few things to know about this diagnostic instrument before stocking up:
Magnifying coatings should be cleaned gently — avoid abrasive polishing agents
Fully rated for autoclave sterilization like the rest of the range
Pairs naturally with standard handles already in most operatories
Smaller head size makes it a favorite for pediatric dentistry
Made from surgical stainless steel and priced at $1.20, it’s a practical, detail-enhancing addition for practices wanting a compact mirror with more optical punch than a flat surface offers.
