Abstract: A dental instrument with interchangeable roller tips for distributing restorative materials on a tooth surface quickly, precisely and homogeneously with little adherence of the restorative material to the instrument. The instrument has an elongate body with a handle portion and one or two working ends extending therefrom with a roller tip rotatably mounted on each working end. The roller tip may be removable from the working end, such that differently shaped tips may be used interchangeably during the restoration of the tooth, as necessary. The roller tip may rotate directly about the working end, or alternatively, a bushing or bearing may be rotatably mounted on the working end between the working end and the roller tip, such that the roller tip is rotatable on the working end by means of the rotatable bushing or bearing.
