Products classified under HTS 9018.49.80.80
Dental Bite Registration Trays
Small trays filled with silicone for capturing precise bite relationships between upper and lower teeth during crown or bridge preparation. These fall under HTS 9018.49.80.80 as other dental science instruments, distinct from basic hand tools. They ensure accurate prosthetic fit.
Dental Surveyors
Precision instruments for analyzing tooth undercuts and designing removable partial dentures with analyzing rods and tables. Classified HTS 9018.49.80.80 as other dental science appliances. Critical for RPD framework design.
Dental Casting Machines Torchless
Induction or gas-oxygen casting machines for melting alloys to fabricate dental frameworks without open flames. HTS 9018.49.80.80 for other dental appliances, distinct from electro-medical groups. Ensures safe, precise metal casting.
Dental Amalgamators
Capsule mixers that triturate amalgam alloy and mercury for consistent filling material. Under HTS 9018.49.80.80 as other dental instruments. High-speed mixing (4000 RPM) ensures clinical efficacy.
Dental Polymerization Units
Pressure and heat chambers that cure acrylic resins for denture bases and temporaries. Classified HTS 9018.49.80.80 as other dental appliances. Controls polymerization shrinkage for durable prostheses.
Dental Burnout Ovens
Muffle furnaces that gradually heat wax patterns in investments to prepare for metal casting. HTS 9018.49.80.80 for specialized dental ovens, not general lab equipment. Programmable ramps prevent investment cracking.
Dental Flask Presses Hydraulic
Hydraulic presses that compress investment material around wax patterns in flasks for casting. Under HTS 9018.49.80.80 as other dental appliances. Ensures uniform density for defect-free castings.
Dental Impression Trays Disposable
Disposable plastic trays used by dentists to take precise impressions of patients' teeth and gums for creating crowns, bridges, or aligners. These trays fall under HTS 9018.49.80.80 as other instruments used in dental sciences, not classified as hand instruments, filling instruments, or dental drills. They are essential for accurate prosthetic fabrication.
Dental Articulators Semi-Adjustable
Semi-adjustable articulators simulate jaw movements to mount and adjust dental models for prosthetics like dentures. Classified under HTS 9018.49.80.80 as other dental appliances, these devices aid in precise bite registration beyond basic hand tools. They are critical for restorative dentistry workflows.
Dental Model Trimmers
Benchtop devices that trim plaster dental models using abrasive wheels for clean edges before articulation. Classified in HTS 9018.49.80.80 as other dental appliances, not dental drills or hand instruments. Essential for lab preparation of diagnostic casts.
Dental Vibrators for Mixing
Electric vibrators that eliminate air bubbles from mixed dental stone or investment materials for void-free casts. Under HTS 9018.49.80.80 as other dental instruments, these are specialized beyond general lab equipment. They ensure model integrity for crowns and bridges.
Dental Wax Carving Units Heated
Heated wax knives and carving units for shaping wax patterns used in crown and bridge fabrication. HTS 9018.49.80.80 covers these as other dental appliances, excluding powered handpieces. Temperature control ensures precise wax manipulation.
