The must-have dental instruments every dental student needs

As the future of the dental profession, dental students must have the right equipment, including all the right tools, so they can learn how to provide exceptional patient care. From diagnostic to surgical, there are some must-have dental instruments that every dental student needs.At One Dental, we are the preferred, go-to supplier for dental education in Australia. We are proudly family owned, and we import, manufacture and distribute hundreds of innovative, clinically proven dental products, including customisable student course kits.

What is a One Dental student course kit? 

We customise our course kits to meet the specific needs of each institution or student, ensuring that they receive the most suitable educational resources. One Dental leader, dental professional and visionary Joanne Stanbury likens our course kits to “ordering Textbooks.”

“Basically, we prepare a pack of resources you will need for your course, like you would order your textbooks, but they’re materials and items you need for simulation and practicals.”

Each year, we use a master kit from the previous year, we collaborate with the schools academic staff to update it to reflect the evolving landscape of the oral health industry. We constantly tweak the kits and materials to ensure students have all the dental instruments, models, dental kits they need to succeed.

What does a student kit include? 

A typical One Dental student course kit may come with:

• Hand instruments including chisel, excavator, elevator, margin trimmer, periodontal hoe, hatchet, scaler, probe, condenser, mirror, endodontic explorer and more
• Dental burs
• Models
• Teeth packs
• Tooth morphology learning tools, like wax blocks

As a boutique business, we are able to adapt our kits to individual and institutional needs and source whatever they require. 

“Learning to look after your instruments really primes students for their profession.”

We also help students learn how to take care of their dental instruments as it’s an important part of their education. Starting early will better prepare them for the years that lie ahead.

Restocking made easy

When students need to restock on simulated teeth, instruments, safety glasses, materials and other items in their course kit, there is no need to place an order and wait. We’ve made the process really easy.

Our vending machines are revolutionising the dental education space one vend at a time, and their presence is increasing in universities and training institutions throughout Australia.

“A vending machine was the perfect solution for both markets where students and patients wanted products immediately and conveniently.”
