Aim: To determine the rate of use of the dental materials in the areas of dental surgery, prosthodontics, periodontics, surgery, pediatric dentistry and orthodontics of Dentistry Faculty of the University of Cuenca, Ecuador.
Materials and methods: We analyzed the rate of use of 43 dental materials of the clinic of Dentistry Faculty of the University of Cuenca, the weight of these dental materials was obtained by a precision electronic scale to determine the number of doses, price per serving and usage fee.
Results: The rate of use of the glass ionomer for light-cured restoration in powder presentation is 5.6%, while in its liquid proportion its rate of use is 3.1%. Regarding to the composite resin, it has a paste form presentation, which has a 1.3% rate of use, in addition, the prophylactic paste and chlorhexidine at a concentration of 0.12%, have a rate of use of 0.5% and 0.1%, respectively.
Conclusions: Knowing the rate of use and price per portion of dental materials is very useful to take advantage of the materials performance, set appropriate prices for treatments and avoid high costs for patients.
