Amalgamator

Materials called amalgam are used to fill teeth. Amalgam contains mercury, copper, silver, tin, lead and etc. The problem is that mercury hardens and dries quickly when combined with other materials, so amalgam is available as a powder free of mercury, and when a dentist requires to use it, it must be combined with mercury. An amalgamator is used to combine it and create a homogeneous dough, which is similar to a mixer.

Dental suction

Dental suction is a set of dental supplies and equipment that is used to suck saliva and blood from gum injuries. In fact, it is the same suction tube that is held in the patient’s mouth throughout the dental procedure. Dental suctions have different types and functions.

Sand Blastre Device

  • Intraoral oral sandblasting machine for the porosity of tooth surface, laminate, zirconia, porcelain, etc. using aluminum oxide powder 50 microns to increase the bond adhesive
  • Autoclaved (except for powder tank)
  • 360 degree nozzle rotation capability
  • Connectivity to unit hose (using adapter)
  • Ability to install directly to the compressor and inside the unit
  • Light weight for easy use and movement

Dental Examination Mirror

The mirror is an essential dental instrument that allows dentists to explore the patient’s oral cavity, both for direct viewing and indirect vision techniques, as well as to act as a mouth separator. Its little size and adaptability make it a basic but highly practical instrument for a perfect working vision.

Probes

This instrument has a long handle with a sharp-looking hook on the end. This is primarily used to explore the pockets between teeth, while also scraping away tartar and plaque. If you have a visible cavity, the dentist may also use the sharp tip to investigate. It may look medieval, but it’s a necessary tool for preventative dentistry.

Forceps

A dental forceps is another basic instrument used in dentistry for a multitude of tasks. They are used to separate tissues, hold them together, suture them, and to transport small objects to the oral cavity or out of it. Depending on the task to be performed, there are different types of forceps: surgical, ligatures, hemostatic etc.

Pliers

Pliers are instruments used in dentistry for a multitude of treatments, especially in orthodontics and in the laboratory, for instance, to cut through wires and dowels, or to bend hooks, etc. There are multiple types of pliers depending on the particular function to be performed. They may also be used to cut through materials such as plaster and come with various types of tips.

Turbines

A dental turbine is a rotary instrument that is driven by air compression directly through the dental unit’s hose via a coupling. Of all the rotary equipment, it has the highest speed but the lowest torque. It is recommended for jobs that require greater resistance to the treatment, for instance, to remove hard tissues from the tooth such as enamel or prosthesis material.

Micro motors

Micromotors are used for the treatment of semi-hard dental tissues. This instrument is connected to the hoses of dental equipment with a variable connection system. Different working speeds and torques are also variable, meanwhile, two different types of instruments can be placed onto the micromotor: straight and contra-angle headpieces.

Straight headpieces:

These are the lowest speed rotary instruments (between 20,000 and 40,000 rpm) and are not usually used inside the mouth. They are used to refine the prosthesis and are always attached to a micro motor; additionally, these instruments may or may not carry light.

Contra-angle headpieces:

Used to work within the mouth in order to remove decaying material, prepare cavities or crowns, remove fillings, as well as to finish and polish dental and restorative surfaces. They are low speed, high torque instruments.

Light curing dental Lamps

These lamps are used for light curing procedures on dental materials, especially adhesives and composites. They have an ultraviolet light that acts on light-curing materials, causing them to polymerize and harden in a short period of time.

Apex locators

Apex Locators are endodontic devices that measure the impedance, frequency and resistance of surrounding material in order to locate the working length of the root canal to be treated.

Autoclaves

In order to perform sterilization with steam at a temperature of more than 100ºC, an autoclave (typically class B) will also be more than necessary.

X-Rays

For dental diagnosis and treatments it is very common in dentistry to perform radiographic tests.

Cabinet Lamps

Cabinet lamps are an essential tool in every dental clinics, and are necessary in order to work with precision and in the most comfortable way possible. They are made up of an articulated arm and head, designed with a concave surface that reflects halogen or LED light at a Kelvin temperature as natural as possible. This helps both the professional to identify realistic colors during treatment while ensuring full comfort for the patient. Lastly, these lamps can be either floor or wall mounted.

Dental Stools

Buying a medical stool can be a very important decision, as the dentist must allow himself to work in the greatest amount of comfort. This is why ergonomics are essentials, along with good tripod support in order to avoid any long-term issues. Depending on the degree of comfort that you may want as a dentist, or the tasks you wish to perform, there are different types of stools: with or without armrests, specific for operating rooms, etc.

Dental chairs with Dental unit

The purchase of dental chairs for a clinic can include simply the chair or actually form an entire dental unit including the usual headpiece equipment (micro motor, contra-angle headpiece, turbine, ultrasound, etc.) along with some other basic elements such as control panels, autoclaves, water distillers, glass filling, etc… All of which depend on the model.

Latex Gloves

To critically review the potential hazards associated with the use of powdered, natural rubber latex (NRL) gloves in dental practice and to report some practical difficulties which may be encountered when handling dental materials with powdered NRL gloves.

Dental Burs

There are more than five thousand types of dental burs according to their shape, size, or the material with which they are manufactured, making them one of the most abundant products in a dental deposit. This is why dental burs have a standard or ISO coding, which is used in a similar way by all manufacturers and should make it easier for you to identify the exact bur you need. This coding is carried out taking into account different parameters of the dental bur, which identify it in a unique way.

Dental Sutures

Dissolvable stitches are made from natural materials, such as processed collagen (animal intestines), silk and hair, as well as some synthetic materials that the body can break down. This allows the body to dissolve the stitches over time. Usually, by the time the stitches are dissolved, the wound is completely healed.

Endodontic Materials

Used to obdurate the root canal system of teeth when the pulp tissue has been destroyed either as a consequence of trauma or subsequent to tooth decay involving the pulp and infection of the pulp tissue.
