Custom Tools??

[nook55]

Hi,

I recently got several dental tools and was wondering if anyone has ground them or otherwise modified any of these for special  or general use? They are very useful as is, but I'm thinking there must be other special tools you can make from these. (Mostly dental picks / scrapers)

i've got a beat up old set of dental picks as well.  also, a guy sent me a really nice set of picks, just as a gift, and i went and lost his address before i could send a thank you note.  so, whoever you are, philadelphia i think, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  alan
