Methods for Setting Up Dental Trays1. Correct preparation for assisting with dental
procedures includes setting up trays of
instruments and supplies2. Various methods are used to set up trays for
specific dental procedures
3. Instruments and supplies used are determinedby the procedure that will be performed and
the personal preference of the dentist.

4. In some areas, trays are set up immediately
before use
a. Assistant prepares room: cleans, appliesbarriers, and so forth
b. Seats and drapes patient
c. Sets up tray with supplies and sterilizedinstruments

5. In other areas, preset trays are used
a. Contents of trays are determined by dentist
b. Trays are set up for oral examinations,amalgam, composite, surgical extractions, and
other similar procedures
1) Oral examination: patients teeth cleaned and
examined, dental radiographs or X-rays may betaken
2) Amalgam and composite

aa. Two main restorative materials used to
repair carious lesions or tooth decay
bb. Doctor removes damaged tooth structureand creates an opening called a cavity
preparation
cc. Amalgam, silver restorative material, orcomposite, an esthetic restorative material,
is placed in the cavity preparation

proper sequence
2. Usually arranged in order of use3. After instrument is used, returned to same
place on tray in case it is needed again
4. Easier for assistant to locate instruments andincreases overall efficiency
