Design and Shape:
- Double-Ended: The small plugger picker usually features two working ends, each with distinct functions.
- Plugger End: One end of the instrument is shaped like a small, flat, or slightly rounded cylinder. It is used to compact or condense filling materials into the cavity or canal.
- Picker End: The opposite end is designed as a thin, pointed or curved instrument, useful for picking, placing, or manipulating small amounts of dental material.

Material:
- Construction: Made from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with standard sterilization methods.
- Handle: The handle is often ergonomically designed with a textured or ribbed surface to provide a comfortable and secure grip during use.
Usage
- Condensing Materials: The plugger end is used to compact filling materials such as amalgam or composite into a cavity, ensuring there are no voids and that the material is tightly packed.
- Placing Materials: The picker end helps in placing small amounts of material into specific areas, such as placing gutta-percha points into a root canal during endodontic treatment.
- Manipulating Materials: The picker end is also useful for adjusting and manipulating dental materials within the cavity or canal.
Maintenance
- Sterilization: The small plugger picker must be sterilized between uses to maintain a sterile environment and prevent cross-contamination. Autoclaving is the standard method of sterilization.
- Inspection: Regular inspection for wear or damage is recommended to ensure the instrument's effectiveness and safety.
