Dental instrument trays are used for both storage and organization, and when used with an easily understood system, they can help increase practice efficiency. These trays can be made from aluminum, stainless steel, plastic or any other easily sterilized material. They feature raised edges to prevent instruments from slipping off, and some trays feature dividers to create different sections for different instruments. Instrument trays can include lids, and some offer modular divider systems, allowing you to construct custom procedure kits. Often available in different colors the trays can be pre-loaded with sterilized instruments organized by procedure type to allow expeditious access to the exact tools needed for whatever case or procedure is at hand.
