Abstract
A method of mounting tools used in dentistry, the tools having flexible tubes associated with instruments remote from the tools, in which a redirector bar is mounted to a bottom surface of a bench top between tool receiving brackets and the instruments so as to support the tubes and define a forward loop and a rearward loop. The tubes in the rearward loop are parallel while the tubes in the forward loop converge when they are extended to the mouth of a patient. Preferably, the tool receiving brackets are supported on the forward edge of a bench top which is slidably mounted for movement in a direction which is parallel to the rearward loop.
