NES-1176

Adult Buccal
Crown margins, contact points, posterior occlusion — a lot of what actually determines case success in restorative and cosmetic dentistry lives on the side of the mouth a straight-on photo can’t reach. The NES-1176 buccal mirror is built to close that gap, angled and sized to capture premolar and molar regions from the cheek side with a clean, single reflection.
The technical difference that matters: this isn’t a repurposed exam mirror. The reflective surface carries a rhodium coating specifically to eliminate the faint double image that ordinary mouth mirrors throw under a ring flash or point-and-shoot macro setup, which is an artifact that’s barely noticeable to the naked eye but shows up clearly in a photograph.
Typical uses:
Posterior crown and bridge documentation
Occlusal contact verification for shade and fit
Buccal-view orthodontic progress photos
Insurance and specialist referral documentation requiring lateral views
Paired with a cheek retractor, this diagnostic instrument gives a stable, repeatable shot angle — which matters if a practice is tracking the same tooth or quadrant across multiple visits and needs the images to actually compare cleanly.
Surgical stainless steel body, sized for adult patients, built to withstand routine autoclave cycles without surface degradation. At $30, it completes the buccal side of a full intraoral photography kit; order 100+ units for a 10% volume discount.
