Abstract: A tool head is provided that can easily correct the shape of a tooth surface. Slot holes are formed in a main head body, that tilt either distally or proximately to the central axis of rotation (CAR) of the main head body. Concave tooth surface blades for cutting concave tooth surfaces are installed in the slot holes that tilt distally, and convex tooth surface blades for cutting convex tooth surfaces are formed in the slot holes that tilt proximately.
