DENTAL TOOL HAVING SEVERABLE SECTIONS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A dental tool such as a drill, burr, anchor, reamer and the like, which is receivable in a dental tool holder, such as a dental headpiece or a hand driver, for operative positioning thereof with respect to the teeth of a patient, the dental tool having a body member provided with an operative end portion for association with the teeth and a shank extend- ing from the operative end portion for association with the holder. The shank portion is provided with at least two cylindrical sections, each section having a circumferential groove defining a neck portion for receiving a retaining member of the tool holder for removably engaging the shank in the holder. The neck portion separates a head portion from a body portion of each section. A flat surface is formed longitu- dinally along one side of each section extending across the head and neck portions, and terminating along the body portion in an outwardly extending shoulder for engaging a ledge in the tool holder to thereby provide secure driving engagement between the shank and the tool holder. The cylindrical sec- tions are spaced along the shank and provide a series of locations for driving and latching the shank in the tool holder. A circumferential notch is provided in the shank between each of the sections to permit severence of one section from the remaining sections along the shank, to there- by reduce the length of the shank for insertion into the tool holder to permit convenient access to operative areas of the patient's mouth.
