Installation and Maintenance of Dental Treatment Chairs


Dental treatment chairs are essential medical equipment for dentists. Since the first electric drill was introduced in 1887, dental treatment machines have significantly improved in performance and intelligence. In recent years, with the application of numerous new technologies, dental equipment has become more user-friendly. Now, let's take a look at the installation and maintenance of dental treatment chairs!

  Dental treatment chairIt is a medical device required by oral doctors. Since the world's first electric drill appeared in 1887, dental treatment machines have greatly improved in performance and intelligence. In recent years, due to the application of a large number of new technologies, dental equipment has become more user-friendly. Now, let's learn aboutDental treatment chairinstallation and maintenance!

Air, water, and electricity are the three essential elements of a dental comprehensive treatment chair, so it is necessary to lay out the air and water pipelines before installation. Install a water filter on the water line to avoid affecting the lifespan of the internal water filter, and avoid placing the air pump too close to the treatment chair to prevent noise during inflation from affecting the patient's treatment. When there are many devices, it is recommended to use gas supply. This is

to save costs, reduce failures, and ensure the quality of gas supply.

Usually, newly purchased equipment is set up and adjusted by the manufacturer, but it is best to have a doctor present during the setup process. This way, any problems that arise in the future can be resolved independently.

ComprehensiveDental treatment chairis divided into integrated and separate types, with most being integrated. It mainly consists of three parts: the patient chair, the doctor chair, and the treatment machine. Among them, the patient seat can be controlled either electrically or manually, with the electric power part having three types: screw type, electric hydraulic type, and belt type. Manual control mainly uses hydraulic pressure to control the seat position via a foot pedal. The treatment machine mainly consists of high-speed handpieces, low-speed handpieces (pneumatic or motorized), three-way syringes, saliva ejectors, automatic water supply devices, instrument trays, shadowless lamps, X-ray photography lamps, dental paste, light curing machines, sputum cups, and gas, water, and electrical control parts. The working principle mainly uses gas to control water and electrical functions for the treatment of oral diseases such as tooth extraction, denture placement, filling, and teeth cleaning.

  Dental treatment chairIt is essential equipment for oral doctors to treat patients, with a high usage rate. Additionally, since it is an integrated device for gas, water, and electricity, daily maintenance is directly related to the lifespan of the equipment and its completion rate, making daily maintenance work particularly important.

First is the maintenance of the handpiece. It is a key component of the dental comprehensive treatment chair.

To avoid cross-infection between patients, the handpiece needs to be sterilized at high temperature and pressure during use. To extend the lifespan of the handpiece, special attention should be paid to daily maintenance.

  Dental treatment chairBefore the first use, drop 1-2 drops of high-speed lubricating oil onto the shaft with a syringe. Under normal circumstances, the handpiece needs to be cleaned with a cleaning lubricant daily, and the miniature bearings should be cleaned every two weeks. Maintain a normal working pressure of 0.2-0.25Mpa; the handpiece should not run dry without water, as this can damage the bearings. If the handpiece needle is dull, please replace it immediately. Otherwise, it will also affect the lifespan of the bearings.

  Dental treatment chairMaintenance mainly involves the maintenance of the air and water lines. At the end of each workday, air, water, and electricity should be turned off. It is particularly important to completely expel the air from the cavity using three syringes after stopping the air, as this keeps the pipeline in a high-pressure state for a long time, which can lead to aging and rupture. Regularly clean the water filter according to the local water quality, and regularly clean the accumulated water in the air filter pressure reducing valve. Clean the suction device and saliva ejector immediately, frequently replacing the water and cleaning the pipelines. Special attention should be paid to water pressure and air pressure, which need to be within the specified range to avoid rupturing the filter and pipelines. The surgical light and observation light should not be frequently turned on and off, as this will shorten the lifespan of the bulbs. For the patient seat maintenance, regularly check all transmission components, and lubricate the mechanical transmission positions regularly. For electric transmission, regularly check the oil level and quality in the oil tank, and replenish and replace it in a timely manner if the oil level is insufficient or the quality is poor. For belt transmission, pay attention to adjusting the looseness of the belt.
