SETUP AND RESTOCKING YOUR SUPPLY TUBS
Tubs can be stocked with any materials for any clinical procedure. The tubs serve to keep materials orga-
nized and are easy to visually inventory. This minimizes problems with missing supplies during the middle of
procedure appointments. Your tub will hold 90% of your expensive materials (non-consumables). Tubs make
drawers unnecessary, preventing searching for missing material. The tubs allow you to have your inventory
in a central place in the room, so your assistant can easily see when material inventory is getting low. You
will be able to stock what you need for a week or two.
The basic materials to place directly into the tubs are, for example, composite capsule tips, crown cement
powder and liquid, temporary cements, matrix bands, retraction cord and astringent. Bonding systems
should also be stored in the tub. Other materials can be placed in small clear containers with lids, such as
those that your lab uses for crowns and bridges. We find that this works well with polishing discs and with
articulating paper that is pre-cut. Primers, adhesives and catalysts all fit nicely into the dividers of the tub
when removed from their original packaging. Disposable mixing wells should also be housed in the tubs.
Size Two duplicate films also fit neatly into the tub and can be used for most of all unscheduled intraoral
procedure x-rays. Bulk film sets for full x-ray series are transported with procedure setups.
The Workstation tub can be custom fit for any doctor’s or assistant’s needs. The tub should be used so
that the assistant and doctor have everything they need for composite procedures, amalgam if utilized, any
cementing procedures, and also all of the small materials needed for a crown or bridge preparation. This
prevents the assistant from having to leave the room during a procedure. All materials can be set aside on
the secondary deployment tray wiped down with a disinfecting cloth prior to being reset into the tub at the
end of a procedure.
Using the tub also makes restocking of supplies much easier. The assistant can take the tub into the cen-
tral resupply area where all excess materials are kept. The tub can then be surveyed, easily restocked, and
returned to the treatment room quickly.
