Prepackaged collections of the devices and supplies (either custom or standard) needed for performing a specific dental procedure on a patient or dental prostheses. Items in these kits usually include most or all the instruments and supplies needed to perform a particular dental procedure. These kits are frequently supplied in supporting trays (i.e., procedure trays) consisting of a flat-bottomed receptacle with a border around the periphery supporting all the instruments and supplies needed for the procedure; the trays are usually covered or wrapped. Dental procedure kits and trays are mainly intended for use during prophylactic, diagnostic, and/or operatory procedures. Dedicated procedure kits and trays are available for a variety of dental procedures, such as dental impression, gingival retraction, prophylaxis, and dental restorations.
