One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Dental equipment vs instruments

Dental equipment refers to the larger, often stationary or semi‑portable devices that provide the environment and power for dental work (e.g., chair‑side units, X‑ray machines, sterilizers). Dental instruments are the handheld tools used directly by the dentist or assistant to perform clinical procedures (e.g., explorers, burs, probes).
