Basic dental equipment required In a dental clinic

Dental products are specially fabricated materials, designed for use in dentistry. There are many different types of dental products, and their characteristics vary according to their intended purpose. In this article, I'm going to cover the basic equipment that we use in our dental clinic near Kakkanad.



1. Dental filling which is not intended to last in the long term. They are interim materials that may have therapeutic properties. A common use of temporary dressing occurs if root canal therapy is carried out over more than one appointment. In between each visit, the pulp canal system must be protected from contamination from the oral cavity, and a temporary filling is placed in the access cavity.


2. Dental cement is used most often to bond indirect restorations such as crowns to the natural tooth surface.


Zinc Oxide cement—self-setting and harden when in contact with saliva.


Zinc Phosphate cement


Zinc Polycarboxylate cement— to enamel and dentin.


Glass Ionomer Cement


Resin-based cement


Cupper based cement


3. Dental impressions are negative imprints of teeth and oral soft tissues from which a positive representation can be cast. They are used in prosthodontics (to make dentures), orthodontics, restorative dentistry, dental implantology, and oral and maxillofacial surgery.


Rigidity- Inelastic impression materials are used with patients with shallow undercuts.


Elasticity- Elastic impression materials are used in patients with deep undercuts as it must be flexible enough to reach the end-point of the undercut.


These two properties are essential because patients have to vary soft-tissue undercuts (shallow or deep undercuts). In order to obtain an accurate impression, a suitable property of impression material must be used. Impression materials are designed to be liquid or semi-solid when first mixed, then set hard in a few minutes, leaving imprints of oral structures. Our dental clinic near Kakkand uses these two properties which are soft and satisfying to the patients.


4 Dental restorative materials are used to replace tooth structure loss, usually due to dental caries (dental cavities), but also tooth wear and dental trauma. On other occasions, such materials may be used for cosmetic purposes to alter the appearance of an individual's teeth.


There are many challenges to the physical properties of the ideal dental restorative material.

These are some of the basic materials required in dentistry. Teethos dental clinic near Kakkanad has more materials and the latest equipment required for a successful treatment.
