Oral surgery is a part of many dental practices whether the practice focuses on general dentistry and performs some surgical procedures, or the practice is dedicated solely to providing surgical care. Dental surgeries can include extractions, implant placements, bone grafts, and many other procedures each requiring specialized clinical training and surgical equipment designed for the technique. While not all surgical procedures require systems and equipment that can’t be used for other dental procedures, specialized surgical equipment is designed to make surgical procedures safer, more efficient, more comfortable, and ultimately more successful.
What Types of Surgical Equipment Are Available for My Practice?
The types of surgical equipment a practice will need depends on both the types of surgical procedures to be performed, and the setting in which they will be performed. A practice with an operatory dedicated to oral surgery cases will likely want to invest in an
oral surgery chair, and if patients will be put under anesthesia, they will need both an
infusion pump and a
patient monitor. Performing surgical procedures often requires a dedicated
surgical handpiece system, or an
ultrasonic or
electrosurgery system, as well as an
irrigation system if it is not integrated into another system. If
distraction osteogenesis procedures are being undertaken, specialized equipment is required as well.
How Do I Select Surgical Equipment for My Practice?
Any time a practice invests in equipment it is important to be confident in your choice by examining multiple options and finding a solution that is comfortable to work with, solidly built, and from a manufacturer who will stand behind the product. Surgical systems offer a range of settings and different amounts of power, so be sure the system you invest in is up to the tasks you require and feels comfortable in the clinicians’ hands.
