DEPTH STOP AND REMOVAL DEVICE FOR SUCH A DEPTH STOP

摘要

The invention relates to a depth stop for a dental instrument (80), comprising a working part (82) and a shank (84), with a first and a second ring-shaped longitudinal section (12, 14). According to the invention, the inside diameter of the first longitudinal section (12) is larger than the one of the second longitudinal section (14), such that a stop surface (16) is formed, which is designed to stop at the transition from the shank to the working part of the dental instrument (80). In the region of the second longitudinal section (14), at least one radially acting detent element (18, 20) is provided, which latches into a recess (88) in the shank (84) of the dental instrument (80) and is configured to expand for removal from the detent position.
