Frequently asked questions
1. What are the main types of dental instruments?
The main types of dental instruments are diagnostic, restorative, surgical, endodontic, orthodontic, prosthodontic, periodontal, and implant instruments. Diagnostic instruments examine teeth, restorative instruments place fillings, surgical instruments handle extractions, and the remaining specialties cover root canals, braces, prosthetics, gum care, and implant placement.
2. How should dental instruments be cleaned and sterilised?
Dental instruments should be cleaned of debris, ultrasonically washed, then autoclaved at 135°C in a sealed pouch or cassette between patients. Stainless-steel instruments tolerate repeated autoclaving; drying them fully and avoiding harsh chlorides prevents pitting and corrosion and extends working life.
3. Are Waldent instruments genuine and autoclavable?
Yes. Waldent instruments are supplied genuine through waldent.com and authorised dealers, made from surgical stainless steel, and are fully autoclavable at 135°C. Both individual instruments and complete kits are stocked, with bulk and college-tender pricing available for high-volume procurement.
