Fig. 4
Ø22 mm
The NES-1127 splits the difference. Where the compact 20mm magnifying mirror favors tight spaces and the 24mm version favors broad coverage, this 22mm Fig. 4 head sits in between — a mid-size option for clinicians who don’t want to switch mirrors constantly between anterior and posterior work.
Magnification here does what it’s meant to: it brings tooth surfaces slightly closer to the eye without warping proportions, which helps when spotting subtle cracks, decay margins, or restoration edges that a plain mirror under typical operatory lighting might not reveal as clearly. It’s not a substitute for loupes or intraoral cameras, but as a first-line diagnostic aid built into an everyday diagnostic instrument, it earns its place in the tray.
Like NES-1126, this is a plain-stem mirror rather than cone-socket, so it’s built to work with standard friction-fit mouth mirror handles — the more common handle type across most general practices.
Construction follows Next Edge Surgical’s usual standard: surgical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistance, and full compatibility with autoclave sterilization cycles.
At $1.20 per unit, it’s a reasonable middle-ground pick for general dentistry, hygiene checks, and diagnostic exams — one magnifying mirror that covers most day-to-day situations without needing frequent swaps.
