This document specifies polymers commonly used in manufacturing dental instruments. It is applicaple to polymers materials used to manufacture either an entire instrument or a part of the instrument. It is applicable to single-use and reusable dental instruments, connected to a power-driven system or not. This document is not applicable to devices and instruments used long-term in the mouth of the patient (e.g. crown, bridges, implants) or to devices and instruments not made of polymers. It contains a current selection of polymers suitable for use in the manufacture of dental instruments.
