Abstract
The dental mouth mirror is one of the most common diagnostic instrument used in dentistry. This tool is small, cylindrical in shape, consisting of a metal/plastic bar as a handle and a metal/plastic plate as a mirror holder. The head of a dental mouth mirror is usually round and the most commonly used sizes are number 4 and number 5. The ruler used in dentistry is present either in the form of stainless steel bar or plastic rings. The ruler is used to measure the intraoral lesions, spaces between teeth in mouth or stone model, length of the tooth or implant in X-Ray, measure the length of files, paper tips and gutta-percha, etc. Therefore, AR Scalo Mirror is a combination of two dental instruments (mouth mirror and scale) which are put together as one so that it saves the time and effort as well as makes the diagnostic procedure less technique sensitive.

Summary
Dental instruments are the tools that dental professionals use to provide dental treatment They include tools to examine, manipulate, treat, restore and remove teeth and surrounding oral structures. These tools range from smallest of instruments like wedges to largest of instruments like forceps. We took the initiative to make a modification of the conventional dental mirror in the form of “AR Scalo Mirror”. This instrument is a combination of two dental instruments (mouth mirror and scale) which are put together as one so that it saves the time and effort as well as makes the diagnostic procedure less technique sensitive.
