Dental Instruments: A Cornerstone in Modern Dentistry and NAZMED SMS’s Contribution

Orthodontic instruments are specialized tools used in orthodontic treatments. These treatments aim to correct alignment and occlusion issues of the teeth and jaws. Notable instruments in this category include:

Orthodontic Pliers: Orthodontic pliers are used for a multitude of tasks, including wire bending, placement and removal of archwires, and tightening or loosening of orthodontic bands.
Band Pushers: As the name implies, these tools are used to ensure the accurate positioning of orthodontic bands around the tooth.
Ligature Tucking Instruments: These instruments are used to tuck the ends of ligature wires (tiny wires that hold the archwire to the brackets) away from the oral soft tissues, thereby minimizing discomfort and injury to the patient.
6. Prosthodontic Instruments
Prosthodontic instruments facilitate the creation and placement of dental prosthetics. These tools aid in restoring the function and aesthetics of the patient’s oral cavity. Key instruments in this category are:

Impression Trays: These tools are used to carry and shape the impression material while taking an imprint of the patient’s dental structure. The impression is then used to create a dental cast for the fabrication of prosthetics.
Articulators: Articulators are mechanical devices used to simulate the movement of the jaws, providing valuable insights during the design and fabrication of prosthetics like dentures, bridges, and implants.
7. Sterilization Instruments
Sterilization instruments are crucial to maintaining a safe and hygienic dental environment. They are used to sterilize dental tools, eliminating any potential risk of cross-contamination between patients. Noteworthy sterilization instruments are:

Autoclaves: Autoclaves are pressurized devices that sterilize dental instruments using steam under high pressure and temperature. The high heat kills bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores, ensuring the instruments are safe for use on the next patient.
