About gauges and calipers
Lab gauges and calipers measure thickness and linear dimension; a Boley gauge is a caliper-type sliding gauge used for that purpose. The FDA lists the dental depth gauge instrument among dental hand instruments, Class I (21 CFR 872.4565).
This shelf holds measuring gauges and the small tools and parts that go with bench instruments.
How the types on this shelf differ
- Gauges & Calipers — Measures thickness and linear dimension.
- Replacement Parts — Saw frames, caliper tips and a replacement head assembly.
- Clamps & Holders — An instrument clamp, an instrument stand and a bar.
- Mixing & Dispensing — Vacuum mixing bowl parts, measuring tips and a chip syringe.
Replacement parts, clamps and holders, and mixing and dispensing items are also filed here; no source on our allowed list describes them, so this guide does not.
What to look at when choosing a gauge
What it measures: thickness and linear dimension.
Reuse: the CDC states that laboratory items such as burs, polishing points and laboratory knives used on contaminated appliances or prostheses should be heat-sterilised, disinfected between patients, or discarded.
