The more obtuse the angle of the bevel (greater sharpness), the thinner the

Not saying we should use dull needles, just pointing out that in the search
for ever sharper needles, we end up having to change them more often.
For the lay-person reading this, we use the same needle on the same patient
1-6 times depending on how many teeth we are working on. We do not use the
same needle on another patient.
