Instruments of this type are commonly known in dentistry as Boley gauges, and they answer a problem that runs through restorative, prosthodontic and orthodontic work alike: a great deal of clinical judgement depends on dimensions that cannot be estimated reliably by eye. Tooth width, crown height, the space left by an extracted tooth, the thickness of a restoration, the gap available for a pontic. The caliper turns each of those into a number in millimetres that can be written down, communicated to the laboratory and checked again at the next visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable class=\"pw-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCondition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDentra caliper gauge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne sliding dental caliper gauge with double scale, REF 60302\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pw-badge pw-new\"\u003eNEW\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is not included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable class=\"pw-table pw-excluded\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStatus\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterilisation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe instrument is supplied non-sterile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pw-badge pw-sold\"\u003eNOT INCLUDED\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVDO gauge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVertical dimension of occlusion gauge, available separately as REF 60301\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pw-badge pw-sold\"\u003eSOLD SEPARATELY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWax and crown thickness gauges\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpring calipers for wax and crown thickness measurement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pw-badge pw-sold\"\u003eSOLD SEPARATELY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstrument tray or basket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTray, wire basket and reprocessing consumables\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pw-badge pw-sold\"\u003eSOLD SEPARATELY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"pw-note\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis instrument is supplied non-sterile.

In restorative work it gives tooth dimensions and the space available for a restoration. In prosthodontics it sizes teeth for a denture and measures the edentulous span. In orthodontics it measures tooth width for space analysis and crowding assessment, which is arithmetic that only works if the individual measurements are accurate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFlat measuring ends suit intraoral work: a flat face sits against a tooth surface or spans a gap without digging into soft tissue, and the same face reads a model or a casting on the bench. Because the same instrument is used in the mouth and on the model, the number recorded in the notes is directly comparable with the number the laboratory works to, which is the point of measuring at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe double scale allows the instrument to be read in more than one way without a second gauge.
