A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Dental equipment vs instruments

Dental equipment refers to the large, stationary or semi‑portable devices that support the overall dental practice (e.g., chair, light, suction), whereas dental instruments are the small, hand‑held tools used directly on the patient (e.g., mirrors, explorers).
