Dental composite resins are polymers used as restorative materials. Basic dentistry includes oral evaluation, dental scaling, polishing, irrigation, imaging, and extractions of teeth affected with advanced periodontal disease. Even when dentistry comprises a small proportion of the practice production, the veterinarian needs to acquire basic equipment and materials as well as sufficient education to understand the anatomy and pathology encountered. Operator safety equipment includes safety glasses/goggles, masks, and gloves. Acquiring the proper equipment, instruments, materials, and education to perform dentistry is one of the wisest decisions a practitioner can make. An individual set of sterilized diagnostic and treatment instruments is provided for each patient. Scaling instruments used in magnetostrictive units are called inserts, a term that describes how the device fits into the handpiece. The Freer periosteal elevator is an orthopedic instrument used in oral surgery for blunt debulking and lifting periosteum from the maxilla and mandibles.
