History of dental equipment & consumables can be dated back to 500 BC when Aristotle and Hippocrates wrote about dentistry including tooth extraction using forceps and usage of wires for stabilizing loose teeth as well as fractured jaws. Later, around 166-201 AD, Etruscans practiced dental prosthetics using gold crowns and fixed bridgework. The first dental drill invented by John Greenwood was a foot driven instrument that was later replaced in 1957 by John Borden who invented the high speed contra angle hand piece with 30,000 rpm (rotations per minute). James Snell, in 1832, improvised Greenwood’s invention by making chair recline, enabling dentists to see in patient’s mouth. In 1877, Wilkerson chair replaced the Snell chair as the primary chair type used by dentists. The nylon toothbrush developed in 1938 was used as a standard toothbrush by dentists until the first electric model toothbrush was introduced in 1960. Similarly, there have been numerous technological advances in dentistry over the last few decades. Dental equipment & consumables play a crucial role in offering efficient and quality treatment to patients requiring oral care. Growing burden of dental diseases in North America and increasing patient demand for essential surgical and non-surgical dental procedures is anticipated to accelerate dental equipment & consumables industry growth during the forthcoming years.
