What do dentists care most about about about dental chairs?

The primary function of a dental comprehensive treatment machine is to keep medical staff and patients in a convenient location for diagnosis and treatment.

In today's era where "appearance is king", if the design of dental chairs sacrifices consideration of the operator's diagnosis and treatment posture and blindly pursues aesthetic appearance, there may be a potential risk of repeated strain injuries.

Therefore, the design of dental chairs should fully consider ergonomics, minimize the risk of causing musculoskeletal strain and other problems for doctors, and provide comfortable support for patients, providing comprehensive diagnosis and treatment support.

Next, let's take a look at what dentists care about when it comes to dental chairs?

When a medical patient sits down, their back should be able to stand straight and not bend or curl up for a long time.

When the patient lies down, the thighs should be level with the feet lying flat on the floor, allowing the hips to bear the weight.

During diagnosis and treatment, the shoulders and arms of medical staff and patients should be able to relax naturally.

The backrest is narrow on the top and wide on the bottom, allowing clinical doctors to move closer to patients without bending over. Legs should be crossed over the chair, not touching the knees, and not forcing the thighs too outward.

Adjustable headrest that supports the patient's head and neck in a comfortable position. It should not reach under the back of the chair and touch the doctor's legs or knees.

The height adjustment should be able to be lowered low enough to accommodate short doctors, and also raised high enough to meet the requirements of standing posture therapy for doctors.

There is sufficient range of backward tilt to treat patients in a vertical or horizontal position, and if necessary, the head can be lowered below the chest.

The armrest should be able to accommodate and support the elbows and upper arms of adult to juvenile patients. The handle and forearm support should be of appropriate size and easy to place, and the armrest should not restrict the doctor's operating path or force the legs to separate too much.

Provide patients with sufficient body support through comfortable seat cushions and lumbar support.

The two sides of the dental chair have programmable preset positions and foot control functions, which can be easily and intuitively controlled.

A smooth outer surface can facilitate disinfection and cleaning, resist wear and chemical deterioration.

Reliable mechanical structures have the ability to generate reactions and move smoothly when lifting large patients.

Twist control enables the dental chair fixed to the base to better adapt to the equipment or treatment area.

Optional features of personalized dental chairs that meet clinical needs (such as control system, oral lighting, water supply, fabric and color selection, heater, massage, spittoon, rotating dental chair, etc.).

Most dental chairs can make patients feel comfortable, and patients prefer seat cushions that are not compressed and have a sense of wrapping.

Every doctor has unique needs: their own physical condition, diagnosis and treatment posture, outpatient style, color and size, outpatient flow, and budget. No dental chair can meet everyone's expectations or become the best choice for all clinical doctors and patients. When choosing a dental chair, clinical doctors also need to comprehensively understand the functions and after-sales situation of the dental chair from the equipment supplier, observe, ask and experience more, compare more before deciding to purchase.
