Your own equiptment

[TucsonDDS]

How are your schools in letting you use your own dental equiptment that you purchase and bring in. Has anyone used an Isolite or brought in a electric handpeice instead of what the school provides? Would your school even let you do this?

Schools would still make you buy whatever they use; mine allows it at least in pre-clinical; i have no idea after that.

But were you free to buy whatever equiptment you wanted or did you have to go with there own kit? Could you choose what handpeice you used?

In nearly every case, you have to buy what the school dictates.

We rent equipment from the school each year. Each 1st and 2nd year has two drawers in our Sim Lab containing the necessary instruments for the lab courses. We have bought articulators, surveyors, and typodonts, that's the only equipment I own. We do not buy any instruments, unless we lose something from our Sim Lab drawers. But, if something breaks, it is replaced--using the rental fee in our tuition. In the clinic, we check out instruments from the dispensary. No purchase of equipment is required.
