What’s on Your Implant Tray?

As clinicians, we’re always trying out new products and equipment. And before we buy, we will almost always
gauge what to purchase based on what colleagues and key opinion leaders use. Unfortunately, it isn’t very often we
actually get to see other dentists’ or specialists’ tray setups. Here, we make it easy for you. In this installment of
“What’s On Your Tray?” Dentaltown Magazine takes a close-up look at four dentists’ implant tray setups – these
include the tools they love, the instruments they can’t practice without and the brands they prefer.
