Il existe des miroirs plans et des miroirs concaves à faible grossissement. Les miroirs servent à deux fins : voir par réflexion des zones dentaires non accessibles à la vue directe et éclairer par réflexion des zones dentaires que la lumière directe n'atteint pas. Ces deux actions sont souvent combinées. Une troisième action très constante est une action d'écarteur des tissus mous (langue, joues et lèvres). 1, record 2, French, - miroir%20buccal%20%C3%A0%20main
