This category ranges from high tech items such as CAD/CAM, chairside whitening and digital shade matching systems, to air abrasion systems, amalgamators, curing lights and shade lights, to equally important but lower tech items such as impression equipment, suction and retraction systems, crown and bridge removers, and even teaching models.
