Abstract:
The present invention discloses a cheek, lip and tongue shield comprising a handle having a first and second end, the first end for gripping; a first shield having an anterior end, a posterior end, and an inferior border, the anterior end transitioning from the handle second end; a non-hinging transverse member having a first and second end, the first end transitioning from the first shield posterior end; and a second shield having an anterior end, a posterior end, and an inferior border, the posterior end transitioning from the transverse member second end. The transverse member inferior border does not extend as far inferiorly as the first and second shield inferior borders, the first shield passively isolates the cheek and lip from the operative site, and the second shield passively isolates the tongue from an operative site.
