Publication number: 20130101959Abstract: A dental retractor made of a shape memory material to be easily bended and restored to an initial shape under predetermined conditions is provided. The dental retractor includes a retraction portion made of nitinol or alloy including nitinol to be bendable and to have shape memory characteristics, and configured to hold gingival tissue by being supported by a tooth; a support portion connected to one side of the retraction portion to support the retraction portion; and a handle portion connected to the support part. Since the dental retractor is easily bent and variously deformed as necessary, convenience of a surgery may be increased. In addition, since the dental retractor is restored to the initial shape under the predetermined conditions after the surgery, convenience is increased.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2011Publication date: April 25, 2013Applicant: B&L BIOTECH CO., LTD.Inventor: In Hwan Lee
