What you don't know about modern dental equipment and offices
I'm sure many of you have been to a dental hospital office, where a dental chair and a dentist in each room look fairly simple. But is the set-up and equipment of a dental office really as simple as it seems? The dental office is an important working area for the dentist, and its equipment, layout, and even the arrangement of items and compartments are all important, so today we will explain what you don't know about the modern dental office.
Modern dental office configuration.
1 dentist, 1 doctor's assistant, 1 nurse
1 integrated dental treatment chair
1 set of workstations
1 material cabinet
Doctor's diagnostic area
Four-handed operation for dentists and assistants.
Four-handed operation means that in the course of dental treatment, each doctor is matched with an assistant, the doctor and nurse both operate in a seated position, the two of them work with a total of four hands at the same time, the assistant smoothly and quickly passes various instruments, materials and other supplies for the doctor, this operation is called four-handed operation.
The four-handed operation helps the patient to draw in saliva and spray water without having to sit up and spit or wait with the mouth open, thus improving efficiency and quality of care. The application of four-handed operation to dental care is a modern "customer-centred" medical service model and is a must for modern dental hospitals.
Integrated dental chairs.
The integrated dental chair was born out of the concept of "people first". The modern dental chair is a highly integrated treatment device that combines the patient chair and spittoon functions, an integrated oral treatment table, a multifunctional monitor and an oral light. The patient chair can be integrated and adjusted to make the patient's position comfortable and at the same time more suitable for treatment, as well as making it easier and quicker for the doctor to operate and increase efficiency. At the same time, the use of high-tech antibacterial materials also greatly prevents cross-contamination via dental equipment.
Integrated treatment table.
The treatment table is divided into a doctor's unit (water and steam triple-use spray gun, high-speed handpiece, straight machine, high-speed handpiece, scaling machine interface, etc.) and a patient chair adjustment unit
The doctor's unit: the triple-use spray gun is used to spray water, air and spray, and the handpieces are divided into dental high-speed handpieces and dental low-speed handpieces. High-speed handpieces are used mainly for treatment and restoration, such as cavities and cutting. The low speed handpieces are divided into straight and contra-angle handpieces, the straight handpieces are for grinding and polishing and are used for extra-oral treatment. The contra-angle machine is used for intra-oral treatment.
Patient Chair Adjustment Unit: By adjusting the patient chair headrest, backrest and knee joint for integrated movement, a variety of movements such as rising, falling and tilting are performed to make the patient more comfortable and the position more convenient for treatment.
Oral light.
Oral lights are used in dentistry to provide illumination during surgery and diagnosis. The light spot is shadowless, has little heat and no burning sensation, and provides an area of light with a balanced brightness and the right contrast to allow the surgeon to see the tooth surface clearly. Modern dental lights mostly use cool light, which in addition to having the function of adjusting brightness, also protects the patient's eyes and prevents visual damage.
Multifunctional monitors.
It can provide a screen for endoscopic and microscopic treatment, making it easier for assistants and patients to understand more clearly and intuitively what is going on in the mouth and in the treatment. A multimedia film can also be played to soothe the patient.
Multi-functional foot switch.
Functions on the dental chair, including adjustment of the patient's chair and switching on and off of the turbine, can be achieved with the multi-functional foot switch. Hands-free operation also effectively reduces patient cross-contamination.
Dental spittoon.
With functions such as rinsing and dispensing, the short nozzle is used to rinse the spittoon and the tall nozzle is used to catch pure water and rinse the patient's mouth
Assisting station.
The assistant unit contains units such as a triple-use spray gun, saliva suction and patient chair control. The assistant can assist the doctor in the consultation through the assistant table to ensure a smooth treatment session.
Workstations.
The workstations are divided into sterile areas, cleaning areas, waste storage areas etc., with corresponding cabinets under each area. The cabinets in the modern dental office are all assigned to a person in charge and checked by a person. Always keep track of the cleanliness and tidiness of the workstations and the completeness of the items, so that the rubbish is cleared and the items are replenished in time.
Material cupboards.
The material cupboard is used to store materials, instruments, disposable items and auxiliary supplies in separate layers and in separate places.
Doctor's diagnostic area.
The computer in the doctor's diagnostic area is not used for the dentist to spend time on the internet. The main function of the computer is to view the patient's case and oral x-rays. Modern dental hospitals have already implemented paperless diagnosis. After a patient has had his or her dental x-ray taken, the doctor only needs to enter the patient's name in the office and the dental x-ray images can be viewed immediately.
The above is the standard configuration of a modern dental office. In addition to making it convenient and efficient for the medical staff to complete the consultation and treatment process, it is also designed to make patients more comfortable and satisfied. The number of modern dental offices is also a key measure of the strength of a dental practice.
