Dental Operatory Supplies
Dental Operatory Supplies
Setting up a dental operatory for anything from a basic prophy appointment to oral surgery requires numerous supplies. The supplies that fill an operatory are the backbone items that make it possible for dental practices to perform the basic tasks and routine process that are a part of dental care. These dental operatory supplies are used for everything from keeping patients clean, to delivering water and air, to applying dental materials and even maintaining dental handpieces and other equipment. Most practices wont need everything found in this category, but every dental practice will use some of these supplies, so it’s important to know what options are available for your practice, and to keep your stock of these supplies ready when they are needed.
What Types of Operatory Supplies are Available for my Practice?
The types of supplies needed in any particular operatory are completely based on the type of dental procedures that will be performed in that room. An operatory set up for prophy appointments will want to be set up with one set of supplies, while an operatory primarily used for restorative procedures could require different supplies. Almost all operatories will want to be outfitted with a suitable supply of
bib clips
,
saliva ejectors
,
air and water syringes
, and
syringe tips
. Some operatories will want supplies for restorative dental procedures, and these supplies can include
articulating paper
or other
articulation materials
,
crown and bridge removers
,
microbrushes
, and
rubber dam systems
. Other types of operatory supplies that any operatory can use include
cotton roll dispensers
,
handpiece lubricants
,
HVE handpieces
,
waterline purifiers
,
suction traps
, and more.
How Do I Select Dental Operatory Supplies for My Practice?
Choosing the best supplies for your operatory will depend on what will be done in the operatory, but there are some basic concepts to keep in mind when selecting these products for your practice. In some cases there is a choice between disposable and reusable supplies. In other instances, practices need to look for supplies that will be compatible with the operatory’s delivery system and other equipment. In any case it is important to be sure to have the appropriate supplies on hand in sufficient quantities to meet the needs of a practice and its patients.
