Installation and Maintenance Considerations for Dental Treatment Chairs

As a manufacturer of dental chairs, dental treatment chairs are the medical equipment that dentists need. In recent years, due to the application of a large number of new technologies, dental equipment has become more user-friendly. So, let's learn about the installation and maintenance of dental treatment chairs with the manufacturer of dental treatment chairs!

Air, water, and electricity are the three essential elements of dental treatment chairs

Modern dental chairs require the laying of air and water pipes during installation. The water filter should be installed once on the waterway to avoid affecting the service life of the internal filter and to prevent the air pump from being too close to the treatment chair. The noise during inflation will not affect the treatment of patients. When there are many devices, it is recommended to use intermediate air supply. This can save costs, reduce malfunctions, and ensure air supply quality. Usually, newly purchased devices are set and adjusted by the manufacturer, but doctors are also involved in the process.

Dental treatment chairs can be divided into integrated and non-integrated types

Most safe dental chairs are integrated, mainly composed of patient chairs, doctor chairs, and treatment machines. Among them, the patient seat has two types: electric and manual control, of which the electric part has three types: spiral, electro-hydraulic, and belt. Manual control mainly utilizes hydraulic pressure to control the seat position on the pedal. The treatment device is mainly composed of high-speed and low-speed handpieces (pneumatic or electric), three-purpose syringe, saliva ejector, automatic water supply device, instrument tray, shadowless lamp, X-ray photography lamp, toothpaste, light curing machine, sputum bowl, and gas, water, and electric control parts. The principle is to use gas to control water and electricity functions to treat oral diseases such as tooth extraction, tooth replacement, tooth filling, and tooth cleaning.

Precautions for using dental treatment chairs

In use, dental treatment chairs need to be high-temperature and high-pressure sterilized to avoid cross-infection between patients. To extend their service life, special attention should also be paid to daily maintenance. When just starting to use, drop 1-2 drops of high-speed lubricating oil on the shaft with a syringe. In general, the vehicle head needs to be cleaned with cleaning and lubricating oil every day, and the miniature bearing needs to be cleaned every two weeks. The normal working pressure of 0.2~0.25Mpa should be maintained; when there is no water, the handpiece should not be idle, or it will damage the bearing. When the needle becomes dull, replace it immediately, or it will also affect the service life of the bearing.

Maintenance of dental chairs mainly involves the maintenance of air and waterways, and air, water, and electricity should be turned off every day after work. It is particularly important to note that after turning off the air, use three syringes to exhaust the air in the pipeline, so that the pipeline is in high pressure for a long time, which is prone to aging and cracking. According to the local water quality situation, clean the water filter regularly and clean up the water accumulation in the empty filter pressure reducing valve regularly. Clean the suction unit and saliva ejector immediately, and frequently take clean water to clean the pipeline. Especially pay attention to the water and air pressure being within the specified range to avoid filter and pipeline rupture.

The surgical and observation lights should not be turned on and off frequently, and the service life of the bulbs will be shortened. For the maintenance of patient seats, inspect all transmission parts regularly and lubricate the mechanical transmission parts periodically. Electric drive should regularly check the oil level and oil quality in the oil tank. When the oil level is insufficient or the oil quality is poor, it should be replenished and replaced in time. The belt drive needs to pay attention to adjusting the tightness of the belt.
