Dental Alcohol Torches and Lamps

Dental alcohol torches and lamps are very useful in a dental lab where sterilizing instruments is essential. Using dental alcohol torches in denture fabrication to melt wax or compound material is probably the most common use for these products. Alcohol torches and lamps feature high temperature flames with no odors. This is a relatively inexpensive method for sterilization and fabrication. Dental alcohol torches and lamps use denatured alcohol. Some vendors sell dental alcohol torches that have been used for decades by dentists; these cast precise pinpoint flames to blowtorch type flames and are meant for duration and repeated use. Laboratory vendors also sell alcohol torches and lamps that are more of the disposable variety. The type of torch or lamp chosen depends on personal preference as well as intended use.
