It is one thing to acquire intraoral camera with screen for your dental practice and another matter to maximize the use of those digital dentistry tools. Optimize the Installation One way to use your intraoral camera is to install it where it is easy to access during any stage of the treatment process. Make sure that the intraoral camera is within reach in your operatory. In this way, you or your staff will not find it bothersome to access and use that equipment. Let Your Assistant Use the Intraoral Camera Before You Assess the Patient One of the best ways to maximize the value that you get from the Dental Camera for Windows is by asking your dental assistant to take several images during the hygiene visit. Your dental assistant can take close-ups of the areas before you come to examine the patient. In this way, you will be able to reduce the time needed to diagnose the patient since the dental assistant has already provided you with what you need to diagnosis y...

Bright dental lights are important for school-based dental sealant programs, because the lighting in the room where the program is located may be poor. The intensity of dental lights can be assessed by comparing the foot candles of light they produce (a unit of measure of the intensity of light falling on a surface). Operator acceptance, cost, weight, adjustability, ease of bulb replacement, and cost of bulbs are also important considerations. The heat generated from the light is a consideration as well, since school-based dental sealant programs often are located in spaces without air conditioning. Three commonly used dental lights in school based-dental sealant programs are halogen, fiber optic, and light-emitting diode (LED). Halogen lights provide a bright and even illumination, are easily focused, and are inexpensive to replace compared to fiber optic and LED dental lights. Halogen lights emit a lot of heat and need to be replaced every 3–6 months. Care must be taken no...

How an dental autoclave works (simplified): (1) Steam flows in through a pipe at the bottom and around a closed jacket that surrounds the main chamber (2), before entering the chamber itself (3). The steam sterilizes whatever has been placed inside (in this case, three blue drums) (4) before exiting through an exhaust pipe at the bottom (5). A tight door lock and gasket seal (6) keeps the steam securely inside. A safety valve (7) similar to the ones on a pressure cooker will pop out if the pressure gets too high. Once the chamber is sealed, all the air is removed from it either by a simple vacuum pump (in a design called pre-vacuum) or by pumping in steam to force the air out of the way (an alternative design called gravity displacement). Next, steam is pumped through the chamber at a higher pressure than normal atmospheric pressure so it reaches a temperature of about 121–140°C (250–284°F). Once the required temperature is reached, a thermostat kicks in and starts a time...

Although the performance of the light in the oral cavity is of utmost importance, certain requirements must also be met by dental lights. They include: Ergonomics Dental practitioners often sacrifice good posture to achieve better vision in the oral cavity. This could easily result in chronic pain, reduced productivity and a shorter career. The design of the dental operatory light should foster both good vision and proper posture to the highest possible extent. Visual acuity Dental lights should deliver proper illumination to meet the needs of a particular user and the particular application. The ability to adjust illumination to deliver only the amount of light that is necessary for each particular procedure based on the user ’ s need is therefore important. Light positioning Dental lights should be easy to move to accommodate illumination of both the upper and lower arches for every possible procedure. In addition, although a dental light with two axes of ro...

Dental Patient Chairs Dental patient chairs are a necessary purchase in a dental office. Choosing a chair that is comfortable for both the patient and dentist is important. Some features of dental chairs can include: thin backrest, swivel, ergonomic, soft cushioning, programmable positions, double-articulating headrest, magnetic headrest, movable armrest for easy patient entry/exit, seat tilt and footswitch or touchpad. If you need to do dental treatment for your patient in different places or you want the dental chair to be portable, a portable dental chair is also a good choice.   Dental Delivery Systems Designed to provide easy access to your handpieces, air/water syringes, vacuum and more, a delivery system is a key consideration in designing an efficient operatory. Dental Operatory Light Dental operatory light is a standard fixture in every dental practice, because without these lights dentistry would be literally be in the dark ages. Operatory lights a...
