VILLAVICENCIO-CAPARO, Ebingen et al. Rate of use of dental materials and supplies. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2018, vol.28, n.1, pp.29-35. ISSN 1019-4355.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.20453/reh.v28i1.3280.

Objectives: Determine the rate of use of dental materials in procedures of dental surgery, oral surgery, dental impression, dental cementation, cavitary base, provisional, prevention, cementation in endodontics, cementation of bands at the Dental Clinic of the Academic Unit of Health and Welfare from the Catholic University of Cuenca, Ecuador. Materials and methods: 31 dental materials and 7 supplies were analyzed in a dental dentistry teaching clinic in Ecuador. The filled container was weighed, then the empty container and the amount of the actual weight of the product in grams was determined, then the weight of each portion was determined and the usage rate (number of portions) was calculated. For the inputs, the total number of units was divided between the use by intervention to find the rate of use, in both cases the rate of use was used to calculate the cost per unit. Results: The rates of use of the liquid component and the dust of the posterior restoration ionomer are different, exceeding each other in a ratio of 2.04 to 1.00. Regarding the silicone, the activator has a rate of 165; having a ratio of 1.89 to 1.00 between activator and heavy silicone. Conclusions:The rate of use of dental materials will help to know the exact performance of the materials that will be used for dental practice, and will establish own costs that will vary from the quantity of materials used and quality of service that we provide.
