A Beavertail Burnisher is a dental hand instrument with a flat, smooth, paddle-shaped working end resembling a beaver’s tail. It is used primarily to smooth, polish, and adapt the surface of freshly placed dental amalgam or other direct restorative materials. By rubbing the broad, flat surface over the restoration, it helps bring excess mercury to the surface for removal, condenses the material, and creates a smooth, shiny finish that enhances the marginal seal and longevity of the filling.
