The dental clinic is a place for professional dental diagnosis and treatment. In order to provide better medical services, the choice of
dental chair is a critical first step. The dental chair is the main equipment for patients to receive treatment in the clinic. Its quality and performance directly affect the patient's comfort and the doctor's work efficiency. Below I will introduce the importance of choosing the right dental chair and some precautions when purchasing a dental chair.
However, there are currently a wide variety of dental chair brands on the market, and the quality varies. So, what kind of dental chair is considered a professional dental chair in the eyes of dentists? What key points should you pay attention to when choosing a dental chair for your clinic? Let’s analyze them one by one below.
1. It is necessary to pay attention to whether the design of the dental chair is exquisite and whether the craftsmanship is precise.
In contemporary society, the public's sensitivity to beauty continues to increase. Therefore, for dental clinics, dental chairs are no longer just a simple treatment tool, but also an important element in the decoration. The lines, colors, and texture of the dental chair in the clinic reflect the style of the clinic and the doctor's personal taste, and will also have an important impact on the consumption decisions of target customers. Therefore, professional dental chairs should be highly sophisticated.
·Are the appearance lines of the dental chair simple and smooth enough?
·Is the color matching of the dental chair in line with fashion trends? Are there enough choices?
·What is the texture of each part of the dental chair? Is the workmanship fine?
·Are the joints of the dental chair rotating smoothly enough?
2. The stability of the dental chair.
In our previous survey of the use of a large number of dental chairs, we found that stability was the feature that dentists were most concerned about. Because the smooth progress of oral treatment is directly affected by the stability of the dental chair. If the dental chair is not stable enough, patients will feel unsafe during treatment, and frequent shaking of the dental chair will also reduce the efficiency of the doctor's treatment operations. Therefore, stability is the second element that needs to be considered in a professional dental chair.
·What is the load capacity of the dental chair?
·If you shake the dental chair vigorously, how long does it take for the dental chair to return to a static state?
·Will the dental light and tool tray shift when the patient moves up and down the dental chair or rinses the mouth?
3. The durability and disinfection resistance of the dental chair.
This is critical to a dental clinic’s operating costs and failure rates. The dental chair is the most basic medical equipment in a dental clinic. If the dental chair exceeds its service life or breaks down frequently, it will not only increase the clinic's operating costs, but may also lead to the risk of violations. Therefore, a professional dental chair should have the ability to be used for a long time, and both the overall structure and components need to withstand the test of frequent use.
·How many years is the registration period of this dental chair?
·Have the dental chair’s dental lights, footrests, backrest cushions and other parts passed reliability testing?
4. Cleanliness of the clinic.
When it comes to keeping the clinic clean, special attention needs to be paid to the cleaning and infection control of the water lines of the dental chair. The medical water in the dental chair water pipeline directly contacts the patient's mouth and may even enter the body, so special attention must be paid. Neglecting to clean may lead to medical accidents. Regulatory authorities are also becoming more and more strict in their infection control requirements for diagnostic and treatment water. In addition, the hygienic environment of the clinic will also affect the patient's treatment experience and satisfaction. Therefore, ensuring the cleanliness of the clinic is an issue that every dental clinic must attach great importance to.
·Can the dental chair fully cover the three points of disinfection: water supply port/three-purpose gun/handpiece tube?
·Is the dental chair equipped with a professional disinfection system? Can different levels of disinfection compliance be achieved?
·Is the drain outlet at the bottom of the dental chair sealed and isolated from the clinic sewer?
5. Whether the dental chair allows the doctor to work easily.
According to research, 96% of dentists have at least one symptom of pain in the musculoskeletal system due to long procedures and repetitive actions during dental work. Back and neck pain are the most common reactions, followed by shoulders, wrists, hands, hips, knees and ankles. Using a professional dental chair can pay attention to every detail of the doctor's operation, making every step of the doctor's treatment easier and more flexible, thus reducing the doctor's workload.
·Does it feel laborious to continuously take and place the tools on the instrument rack of the dental chair?
·Try to step on the footrest of the dental chair. How high do you need to raise your feet?
·Do your hands feel tired after lifting the strong and weak suction handle of the assistant position for a long time?
6. The doctor’s comfort during treatment operations also includes the patient’s comfort during treatment.
When a dentist treats a patient, the role of the dental chair is to support the patient so that the doctor can treat the patient more conveniently. The design of the dental chair determines the distance between the doctor and the patient, which in turn affects whether the doctor can adopt the correct operating position. How to provide convenient treatment conditions while ensuring patient comfort is an important aspect of professional dental chair evaluation.
·Can the doctor approach the middle of the backrest from all directions when sitting in a normal sitting position?
·When the doctor operates the dental chair, is there enough room for movement of the left and right legs?
·Do you always feel comfortable sitting in the doctor's chair for a long time?
The comfort of the chair used for dental treatment not only affects whether the patient can feel comfortable during the treatment process, it can also reduce the patient's nervousness to a certain extent, thereby improving the clinic's reputation and repurchase rate. Professional dental chairs are designed with the patient's treatment experience in mind, including every detail from the feel of the backrest and seat cushion to the pitch and lift of the seat.
·Are the thickness, hardness, and elasticity of the dental chair cushions moderate? Does the surface feel smooth to the touch?
·Does it feel stable when you sit on the dental chair and perform lifting and pitching operations?
