There are many types of dental equipment required in order to run a dental surgery successfully.

Some are necessities such as autoclaves. An autoclave, such as the Statim 2000s or Statim 5000s, is used to sterilise dental instruments, handpieces and some other sundry items by subjecting them to high pressure steam at 121?c or more. When the goal of autoclaving is to achieve sterility it is important to ensure that all of the trapped air is removed. The removal of air is highly important for achieving sterilisation because air can act as a barrier to the sterilising steam. Unless the autoclave can evacuate air fro the inside of the handpiece before sterilisation begins the handpiece would not necessarily be sterilised.

The Statim 2000s autoclave is the fastest benchtop steriliser available. Just 8 minutes for a complete sterilisation cycle gives you unparalleled process efficiency and equipment utilisation. The light, thin-walled cassette promotes rapid temperature changes. Using the same advanced technology as the Statim 2000s, the Statim 5000s has a larger chamber size offering a greater capacity. The Statim 5000s is ideal for multiple surgery practices and sterilisation of larger instruments and has a complete sterilisation cycle of just 9 minutes.

Authorities now recommend that dental instruments must first be processed in a mechanical washer-disinfector prior to sterilisation. Effective sterilisation begins with the Hydrim C51WD washer disinfector which automatically washes, rinses, disinfects and dries dental instruments. The Hydrim eliminates the soaking, scrubbing and rinsing associated with traditional pre-sterilisation processes.

Another commonly used piece of dental equipment is the ultrasonic scaler. Periodontal scaling procedures include the removal of plaque build-up, calculus and tooth staining. Removal can be achieved with hand instruments, but more often ultrasonic scalers like the Piezito from TTT Technologies are powered by a system that causes the tip to vibrate. The development team at TTT have defined the control systems and applications of the ultrasonic scaler, welcoming the next generation of ultrasonic technology. The Piezito ultrasonic scaler with its Intelligent Power Curve system creates an optimum power curve enabling precise choice and control over the whole range of load. Piezito has been developed with the Intelligent Power Curve system to provide the optimum power curve for each application, presenting new and diverse opportunities for the use of ultrasonics in dentistry.

With the infection control requirements within a dental practice along with essential maintenance precautions, treatment of biofilm and removal of microbiological load in dental unit waterlines. Optident Sterilox is a piece of equipment which provides a safe and effective method for disinfecting and decontaminating dental unit waterlines and is an ideal piece of equipment to become part of the normal surgery set-up rather than being an added extra.

Conventional surgery lighting has proven inadequate for accurate colour perception during shade-taking procedures. Guidelines regarding time of day and direction faced are open to numerous natural variances and therefore cannot be consistent. Utilising the latest Optilume LED technology provides immediate and reproducible diffused light. Optilume Trueshade is the only LED light for use with any restorative technique or material that provides instant, correct and consistent daylight at the correct proximity to the working site.

Exhibiting daylight colour values, the POV LED light has a unique, integrated cooling system that prolongs the LED lifespan and enables POV LED to be worn comfortably on all day. POV LED will increase your depth of vision, reduce eye fatigue and provide optimum freedom of movement correcting your working posture. POV LED also sits comfortably and centrally on a full range of loupe frames.
