Profile
-
Dental equipment refers to all tools used in examination, treatment, removal, restoring and other manipulating related with any oral diseases.
Dental supplies, dental instruments, dental device or dental material actually refers to the same products in this field.
It is called '牙科器材' in Chinese, 'Dentalbedarf' in Germany, 'Fournitures dentaires' in french and 'Tandheelkundige benodigdheden' in Netherlands.
Dental instruments are essential equipment for doctors to perform oral examination or treatment.
Small dental instruments(such as dental Handpiece, dental kit ), dental consumables and large-scale dental equipment(Dental Chair) work together constitute the backbone of the dental industry.

Dental supplies covers dental instruments and consumable material
Introduction
-
As per the Disease Control and Prevention Center(CDC), 84.9% of children from 2-17 years of age, 64.0% of adults from 18 to 64 years of age, and 65.6% of adults aged 65 and above have had at least one visit to a dentist in 2017.
According to report of FDI World Dental Federation, oral diseases impact 3.9 billion people of the world. It means half populations of the world needs dental treatment. Tooth decay (dental caries) is the most prevalent of all the 291 conditions included in the global burden of disease study.
The general dental procedures covers dental fillings, bonding, root canals, crowns, bridges, periodontal treatments, and oral maxillofacial procedures.
The existing and potential dental procedures all needs support by dental supplies or dental equipment.
Above data shows a great potential market of dental supplies.
According to the latest research report by StraitsResearch, the global dental supplies market sales is expected on course to a eye-catching growth in the future 10 years.
Details

When a patient visit a dentist, the dental doctor will look at the throat, tongue, mouth, and gums to look for loose teeth, gum disease, broken teeth, biting problem or tooth decay. X-ray machine, dental chair, dental kit and dental consumables are often be used directly or indirectly.
The global dental equipment market size was valued at USD 5.4 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1% from 2021 to 2028.
The growth of the dental supplies market is attributed by the factors include the rapid growth of aging population, increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry, and growing incidence of dental caries and other periodontal diseases.
The global dental supplies market covers the following area: North America (United States, Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, France, UK, Russia, and Italy), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, Korea, India, and Southeast Asia), South America (Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia), Middle East and Africa (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Nigeria, and South Africa).

In 1792 DeChemat obtained the porcelain tooth making method.
In 1797, Baltimore M.D. Thomas Bruff applied for the first patent for An American dental device, which he called a "vertical tooth puller".
In 1815, Levi Spear Parmly of New Orieans, La. used silk floss to clean the adjacent teeth.
In 1818, Auguste Taveau in Paris produced the first silver-mercury filling material.
In the early 1840s, John D. Chevalier of New York began producing dental equipment and established the first dental equipment supply company.
In 1844, M.L. Rein recommended regular oral hygiene maintenance using toothbrushes and floss. Ether and chloroform were also used for dental anesthesia in the following years.
In 1846, hand-powered tooth drills were first used to treat caries.
In 1864, George Fellows Harrington of England patented the first motor-driven tooth drill.
In 1865, the first steam sterilization equipment was invented.
The first electric motor was invented for tooth drill in 1870.
Joint-wing X-ray film was first used in 1926.
In 1940, the first compressed air-driven tooth drill was patented.
In 1955, Michael Buonocore invented the white composite resin white filling material.
In the 1940s and 1950s, iron dental carts were used clinically and gradually developed into today's dental treatment chairs.
In 1960, hydrocate was created.
In 1963, R, L, bowen patented dental compound resins and developed adhesives.
In 1970, electric toothbrushes entered the U.S. market.
1971, American scholars developed glass-ion watergate.
1978 hydroxyapatite and other biological ceramic implant materials was created.
In 1978, Apotheker and Dr. Jako first used microscopes for dental treatment.
1979, MS.Strong began the application of lasers in oral field.
1987, the world's first denture repair CAD/CAM system applied to oral repair clinical.
1998, the first commercial CBCT machine (NewTom 9000) developed and produced by Italian engineers.
2003 zirconia products appeared and applied to oral clinical.
Note
-
Don't put too much force on the dental device.
Dental instrument operators should avoid sudden direction changes of motion, smooth and gentle is the most effective.
Do not press the edges against the gums when using the mouthpiece to avoid pain or discomfort to the patient.
The working end of the probe should be close to the surface and checked along the edge of the gum to prevent the working end of the sharpener from stabbing the gums.
Tips
-
Find a reliable dental equipment suppliers at reasonable price is important for hospital or clinic.
Most dental equipment suppliers offers sample before a large purchasing.
Staff needs enough training before the dental device usage.
Read dental equipment guidelines by manufactures before the fist using.
All dental devices should be clean and disinfected regally, especiall after the using.
It is important to check equipment regularly. Damaged equipment should be replaced in time.
Wear masks and gloves during dental treatment, because silver-mercury alloy can enter the human body through the skin and respiratory tract.
