Move from armamentarium to instruments
I thought armamentarium was quite pretentious, whatever was i thinking, noone will look that up. 'Dental instruments' seems a much more logical name for this page. I hope everyone agrees (Bouncingmolar 07:34, 13 February 2007 (UTC))
 * Mos’Def’ agreement: Dentistry has improved in civility and effectiveness by leaps and bounds, since a Hartford dentist (now long since memorialized with a plaque (memorial) (& IIRC, at least a personal plinth in that city’s Bushnell Park. I dinn’a recall his name, but I think I hunted it down, after a colleague submitted a photo of it in one of our image-building drives or competitions. (I think he was imprisoned over the death of a patient … IIRC bcz of excessive ether. (... Hmmm. Priestly first used use oxygen, I think, as a tonic, but was probably a Brit, even earlier, and purely a non-medical researcher. .... or was that that “frog” Lavoisier?... —2601:199:C201:FD70:20C7:3126:33A0:DA06 (talk) ex-user:JerzyA (who will be useless at the polls, if ’e don’ go t’bed....)

Plan
It was my original plan to add pictures for each item. Maybe someone can help :) (Bouncingmolar 13:27, 26 July 2006 (UTC))


 * I'll be able to help with that. Though, it might be a little tricky getting pictures of everything if each object will have its own picture. Also, if you do not mind me asking, what is your affilition with dentistry? I know you have done a lot of contributing to dental related articles. - Dozenist talk  00:07, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * i'm a nutcase dentist (Bouncingmolar 08:04, 9 February 2007 (UTC))


 * I have every ortho instrument photographed. Quality isn't great, but it's free.Dr-G - Illigetimi nil carborundum est. 16:08, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


 * great stuff!. Maybe you could add some ortho instrument details first. but if you know how to upload them then all the better.(Bouncingmolar 07:13, 13 February 2007 (UTC))

Scope
This page is most certainly not within the scope of the WikiMedicine project. Especially with the new dental project being online. Removed. Dr-G - Illigetimi nil carborundum est. 17:35, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, though medicine and dentistry overlaps at times, the WikiDentistry project may be a better forum to discuss the quality of this article, but the project has not set up a method to evaluate all dental articles. Maybe we should start one?  What do you think? - Dozenist  talk  21:23, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a good idea, but I don't think we even have enough people contributing yet in order to have some working on quality assessments. Ideally, we would have a system in place, a 'peer review' of a sort, representing a diverse range of scientific backgrounds and opinions.  If you think it can be done, I will participate.

Merger with Instruments_used_in_dentistry
Support merger. Added the Template:MedInst to this page. Requesting a tabulation of the content like Instruments used in general medicine. Mere GMP; have no idea about dentistry or else I myself would have tinkered. Believe a tabulation would be better. Sarindam7 13:27, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

New Additions: descriptive paragraphs
Adding information on dental forceps and anesthetic syringe to dive deeper into dental instruments! – Wherm001 (talk) 20:54, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

Where are the citations and sources?
This article cites almost no peer-reviewed sources of information. Can someone back the descriptions of various tools and other claims with actual peer-reviewed sources? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.84.199.178 (talk) 19:32, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
