Rubber dam clamps
Rubber dam frames and forceps
Explorers and excavators

Care of Stainless Steel Dental Tools

Many of your primary dental instruments are made of stainless steel that needs to be taken care of properly. Reserve a sink specifically for pre-washing your dental tools. Place instruments in a surgical pre-soak bath for at least ten minutes before scrubbing with a nylon bristle brush. Never use wire brushes on stainless steel dental instruments. Once pre-cleaned, essential dental tools should be steam sterilized in an approved sterilization unit. Hinged instruments should be in the open position during the sterilization process.
