Dental tools

Other Applications Very small, very low-flow, and relatively high-velocity exhaust inlets, similar to LVHV nozzles, have been used successfully to control fumes from electric soldering irons." " Some investigations have been made into small, point-control exhaust ventilation for aerosols generated by high-speed dental tools. However, such low-volume point-control ventilation systems have not seen widespread use.

Dental Took. Many common dental tools are available for home use as part of a daily oral care routine. The most basic of dental tools is the toothbrush. Toothbrushes come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and stiffness. Patient age and oral condition determine the best toothbrush for each individual. Toothbrushes usually consist of a plastic handle with nylon brisdes that remove food, bacteria, and plaque that can lead to tartar and dental caries. Toothpaste is usually added to a toothbrush to aid in cleaning the teeth and freshening the mouth. Toothpaste is available in a variety of flavors and compositions and may contain polishing or bleaching agents. Dental floss is another basic tool used to remove food and debris from between the teeth. Floss is available in waxed and unwaxed formulations and in a variety of widths and thicknesses. Mouthwash is a rinse that prevents gum disease. Mouthwash is available in many flavors, but all types reduce the number of germs in the mouth that cause gingivitis. 

More sophisticated dental tools are used by dentists during dental examinations and procedures. A routine dental cleaning removes stains on the teeth, as well as tartar that brushing and flossing cannot remove. Polishing the teeth aids the dentist in visualizing the teeth and makes it more difficult for plaque to accumulate on the surfece of the teeth. Mirrors, scrapers, scalers, and probes are essential in-office dental tools.

Because of its hardness and noncorrosiveness, tantalum is used to make dental and surgical tools and implants and artificial joints, pins, and screws. The metal does not interact with human tissues and fluids. Since tantalum can be drawn into thin wires, it is used in the electronics industry, to make smoke detectors, as a getter in vacuum tubes to absorb residual gases, and as filaments in incandescent lamps. It has many other uses in the electronics industry. 

Despite its limitations, kinetic gelation modeling is still a very useful tool in simulating network structure in highly crosslinked systems. While kinetic gelation models have gained widespread use in the polymer science field, the application of these models to dental materials and their development appears to be an area appropriate for further exploration. 

The corrosion resistance of the Pt metals has made the Pt crucible and the Pt electrodes commonplace laboratory tools. The glass industry makes use of large amounts of Pt and its alloys for manufacturing veiy pure glass. Synthetic fibers often are extruded through spinnerettes made of Pt alloys. The large use of Pt metals in dental and medical devices, in jewelry, and for decorative purposes is based on the corrosion resistance and general appearance of these metals. 

Other tools you will need for HPLC are fairly standard for a lab with a few exceptions. I keep two of the small open wrenches supplied with an HPLC system or a column for use with compression fittings, 1/4-in, a 5/8-in box wrench, and a 6-in crescent wrench for column work, a file, a Terry tool tubing cutter, a couple of pairs of blunt nose pliers for tube flexing during cutting, a reversible screw driver, a jeweler s screwdriver for phoenix block s screws, a universal Allen wrench set, an adjustable-head dental mirror (for seeing behind boxes to hook up leads), and a stopwatch for timing flow. The key is to lock up your tool kit to prevent tool evaporation.
