Abstract

An arrangement for the carrying of dental implements, consisting of a carrying plate arranged on a supporting member, and which has one side facing upwardly including positioning elements provided for the implements on the upwardly facing plate side thereof. The dental implements which are located on the support plate can consist of hand instruments, for example, probes, mirror, tamping instruments, pincettes or the like. Furthermore, the implements can also be formed of cotton receptacles, medication flasks, waste receptacles, as well as worktool, handpiece and anglepiece supports. The positioning elements for the implements can be arranged directly on the carrying plate or also in flat trays, or can even be formed by the flat trays themselves. As the result of an inclination or supplying relative to the horizontal of the upper surface of the carrying plate, the implements which are arranged thereon can be readily surveyed by the dentist or the assistant, and without having to reach thereover, can be easily directly passed over with the hand or by means of a pincette or forceps, or the like.
