What the AI looks for in Dental Drinking Cups
- Size
- 5 oz plastic is the common chair-side size, and 3 oz paper is common for bathroom-style dispensers. Cup fillers and dispensers are sized to specific cups.
- Material
- Rigid plastic for automatic cup fillers. Paper for low waste or for compostability goals. Thin cups collapse in the patient's hand or tip over under a filler spout.
- Stacking and denesting
- Cups should separate one at a time without sticking. Cups that stick together waste product and slow down chairside work.
Brands that matter
- Dixie: Ubiquitous small paper bathroom cups.
- Medicom: Dental plastic drinking cups in bulk.
- Dynarex: Budget plastic cups.
- TIDI Products: Dental disposables including cups.
What to avoid
- Thin plastic cups that crack or collapse when the patient grips them
