Dental equipment tools are used by dentists--and also often by assistants--to examine, remove teeth, restore teeth as well as maintain the gums and the rest of the related problems. Dental equipment includes dental chairs, scaling units, hand pieces, CAD/CAM systems, instrument delivery systems, dental lasers, intra oral and extra oral radiology equipment, and CBCT scanners.

Classification of Dental Instruments

• General Equipment

S. No.	Equipment	Functions
1	Explorer	To Examine teeth for decay (caries), calculus, or canals and other anomalies
2	Dental Mirror	To provide indirect vision To retract lips, cheeks, and tongue To reflect light into the mouth
3	Ultrasonic Scalar Unit	To use with water-cooled ultrasonic tips, to remove calculus
4	Syringe	To rinse and dry specific teeth or entire oral cavity
5	Air/Water Tip	tip is inserted into a valve that will allow the dental professional to blow air or squirt water on the desired area in the mouth.

• Extraction/surgical Equipment

2	Amalgam Carrier	The amalgam carrier consists of a small tube on one end and a large tube on the other end.
3	Plugger	After the amalgam is inserted into the tooth, the dentist uses the plugger to firmly pack the amalgam. This ensures all the air pockets are filled and allows the dentist to insert the maximum amount of amalgam.
4	Carver	The amalgam, which is inserted into the drilled portion of the tooth, needs to have a smooth surface that will allow the upper and lower teeth to fit together when the patient bites down.
5	Spatula	Whenever a tooth is capped, the crown, being either stainless steel or porcelain, will need to be glued to the remaining portion of the tooth. The assistant will use the spatula to mix the proper glue solution and powder to create the desired mixture.
